Ok guys I wanted to share something with you. The Ph of my tank was a little low due to bog wood and Co2 injections so I decided to get it a little higher but hate using chemicals where a natural method can be used.
I went to my LFS after doing some research and set out to find some lovely lime stone or ocean rock (both are claimed to help raise Ph) but the stone they had would have taken up to much aquarium space so instead I bought a nice 2kg bag of "break offs" all the stone that broke off while being transported. I made a lovely cave as you can see below.
There is nothing holding this together at the moment, I plan to grow java moss on it and over time as it fills in all the nuks and cranny and attaches firmly I hope it will help hold things together.
So, what do you think of this little project?
Also on a side note, I noted some strange behaviour from my SAE's all 3 of them were attacking this new stone as if there was some algae on there (which there wasn't) they are still doing this now after an hour :/ seems strange to me.
