aqua_chem said:Hmmm. This is an interesting idea.
Honestly, I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Sulphate (sulfate to us yankees) is actually a really poor base, so I would doubt that it would affect pH at all. Remember that sulfate is the anion of both Epsom salt (MgSO4) and the dry fert that we use to directly administer potassium (K2SO4), and both are used already in aquariums. I doubt sulfate will be an issue.
Recall that sulfuric acid cannot form in water as it is a strong acid. Hydrogen sulfate (HSO4-) will not form in appreciable amount neat neutral pH.
Honestly, I would say that you'll probably be fine. My only concerns is measuring out 4 ppm. You'll want a dry scale so you can measure out the right amount. If you want to take that path, I would be more than happy to help with the math.
Anyone prone to allergies should satisfy themselves that they can handle this product without difficulty

England is weird...
senemedar said:It's Christmas now so there isn't too much time to look for the ammonia (at least for me ), but I'll do another round through the shops Monday or Tuesday. If I won't find the one In the bottle, I'll get the one I've found already. Just for the sake of experiment, if not for anything else (as long as it won't dissolve the seal in the tank!)
Ps.
England IS weird, and I'm saying that because I'm from Poland

senemedar said:Ouch!! I didn't mean to
Believe me it was positive-weird, not negative-weird. It's the place I call home now and if it was for the latter I'd be back in Poland in no-time...
I really love England
