I'm trying to find some peat to lower the Ph in my L-183 tank. What do you guys use and where can I find it? Is there anything I should look out for when purchasing?
Good peat for plecos?

Here's some more info on that:

Those Jiffy peat pellets are on clearance at my garden shop right now for like $2, might want to check it out since a lot of places are focusing on Christmas at this point.
A 2 cu ft bag costs about $10...it's a huge amount of peat, though. Unless you have use for it (in your yard, it makes great mulch for azaleas and other acid loving plants) I recommend getting the peat pellets. It will give you an opportunity to try out peat before getting a giant bag and then realizing maybe it's not what you want after all!

Best bet is sphagnum peat moss, cheap and effective. Peat pellets for growing seedlings usually contain some sort of fertilizer.
I don't know, people are using it to hatch killifish eggs so I would imagine it would be fish safe. Might not hurt to contact the manufacturer!
Like topsoil, I've never seen peat for sale in anything less than 1 cu ft or so, and that is a whole lot of peat if you don't have a yard to use it on.
