Indian Almond Leaves

[meili.harrison]

I'm thinking about using this natural product to lower my ph, which is currently at 7.6. I keep angels, plecos and recently discus. I think a lower ph would be better for them. Anyway, I know Indian Almond Leaves lower ph in tank naturally, but how would I go about using it? How often does it need to be changed and how much would I use? Tank sizes are 72 gal and 55 gal.

See this. I usually use one leaf per 10g.

You can cut them to pieces, place in a nylon bag and put in the filter or simply weigh them down with pebbles to give the appearance of leaf litter that does happen in some natural habitats such as ditches of Southeast Asian countries. I live in Southeast Asia myself.:grinyes:
