Ahh I see. So that's good to know. I'll definitely do that then. Thanks for your help :)

Ok that makes sense. So grab the tap water and see how much baking soda it takes to raise the KH to the tank KH?

Ok sounds good! Thanks a ton for your help! :)

Ok thanks! That's a good idea. So add half a teaspoon to the 9 gallons of water I add to the tank after the water change?

Ok so would there be a harmful effect to the fish if I use my tap water for a water change. The tap is 7.2 and the tank is at 8.2 with the rocks. It would a weekly 25% water change.

Thanks. I do not think that its necessary to raise the pH anymore than it already is though. I just wanted to know if the pH is still going to climb up after a few days and if it is harmful to my fish if when I do a weekly 25% water change I use my tap (7.2 pH) and my tank is 8.2pH.

Hi, so I am setting up an african cichlid tank. As many know, they prefer harder water in the 8.0ish range. Unfortunately for me, my tap is 7.4. Just recently after setting up the aquascape, the rocks I added raised the pH to 8.2. The perfect condition! Not knowing the rocks were going to raise...

Just threw together another scape. How do you guys like this one?

I'm very sure that there is a design like that, but I thought for iwagumi there should be an odd number of rocks as a guideline. ;)

Thanks for your input!! I have posted this new setup on some other fourms and I have all heard the right side looks uniform. Im glad that you enjoy it and I appreciate the positive feedback! :D Im glad that I could inspire you! :) I got my rocks at a local garden center. They were selling them...

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting earlier; life got in the way. By using your opinions, I managed to create another rock layout. Please comment and give me your personal advice :)

Oh wow that sucks! I hope that your scape turns out the way you want it ;)

Thanks :)

Wow! I am glad you enjoy the tank and that I helped inspire you for your shrimp tank! I'm interested in seeing how it comes out. Do you have a pic??

Thanks for your support :)
