I received a prophecy of doom from a LFS guy recently. I'm slowly adding batches of neons to my 55g planted to get a school going and several of them have been dying off. My paramaters all seemed fine so I asked for his opinion and he pretty much said its a matter of time before my 6.0 ph kills everything in the tank. I didnt take too much stock in this, but its probably true that even with slow acclimation the ph drop from the lfs to my tank can be too much for a neon. Plus i'd like to add co2 one day which will just drop it further. I think i'll get some crushed coral to slowly put my tank at around 6.4.
Anyone have experience with this? I'm looking for measurements like maybe a half cup of coral once a week or something.
