Hi as I am having a 3ft hardscape tank keeping 5 altums for a year, my pH level is always btw 7.5-8. I thought of bringing down to at least 6.5 by using more natural ingredient like peats as I believe those man-made chemical pH down products will screw up my water perimeter now or in future. But the thing is peats dosent solve my problem. Im thinking of getting ada soil in replacement of peats instead as I know substrate like this will bring down level of pH, do you this is worth doing, iis it pratical in doing so? By the way My main substrate is caribsea substrates which will not alter pH and I had removed most rocks.
