Hey Now all,
I want to keep a south american soft acidic water habitat. I wonder how hard it is to maintain a low ph. Anyone have any experience in doing this? If I use ro/di water that will start me out at 7. I am thinking of using diamond black under ada soil...to make the water yellow and soften it up and lower ph. Using pressurized co2 with a ph controller should get me down to 5.5? The one thing I am worried about is keeping the KH stable. What do you guys think?
Thanks!
