Aquarium Advice Regular
I am looking into some options for softening the water in some smaller tanks - 20-35 gal. Since I live in Alberta, our ph is quite high 7.8. I have been keeping various apistos and german rams for the last year and a half but have not been able to keep them alive much more than 8-12 months. I would like to try putting them in softer water since that is what they prefer. I tried putting garden peat moss in a filter bag in my Aquaclear and all it did was make a mess of the tank. What options are available for softening the water. Is RO equipment even feasible for smaller tanks?? Would like to read some good articles on this issue if anyone knows of any good links.
