hi, i have a newly set up aquarium which is partially stocked with 2 cardinal tetra's & crystal red shrimps my goal is to stock 12 cardinals & a pair of electric blue rams, but i have come accross a problem, i have manando substrate which it appears after reading a thread about it is the reason my ph is raising after being added to my tank to around 7.6 which is far too high for all the species i wish to keep, can anyone advice me on the best course of action:
has anybody stuck with manando & over time its buffering capacity wears out?
should i change substrate, if so which is the best for keeping my desired fish/shrimps?
should i use peat in my filter?
any advice is greatly appreciated as i need to sort this issue out before adding any new livestock.
