Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll give a littlemore info as to what I'm looking to do: In the
established tanks, the water stays-in-high pH evenwith the fish load. Perhaps this is because I have alot of plants (which are my main interest). Theplants would like higher KH/GH than 2, so I want toraise it. BUT, if I raise it to where I want it, thepH goes even higher, to about 9! I do have plenty offish in the tanks, and have soil underneath the gravel(yields CO2). I do not wish to do CO2 injection(PITA). So, how do I raise the KH/GH and keep the pHfrom skyrocketing? David - doesn't peat soften aswell as lower pH?
Thanks,
Laura
