I am getting 10 small altums tomorrow. I am debating as to the initial setup for them. My aged water's pH is 7.6. In my 120g planted community tank, I maintain 6.7-6.8pH. I was thinking of putting these altums into a bare bottom quarantine tank and am debating what to do with pH. Should I lower it from 7.6 or acclimatize them to that and than to 6.8 when they would go into the planted tank.
I was debating whether it made sense to lower the pH with peat moss while in quarantine. I have used vinegar before as well.
Any thoughts on appropriate course of action?
Thank you.
