Hi Everyone - I struggle to get my pH into a neutral range. My setup:
20g long, housing a small colony of RCS and a few ramshorn snails. Heavily planted with several pieces of mopani driftwood. Water is moderately hard. I have a bag of crushed coral in the HOB. Been there for a few weeks. My pH wants to be <6.0 and I want it to be closer to 7.5. The crushed coral raised it to about 6.8 or so. The question: do I need to change out the coral at some point to maintain it's alkalinity power or should it last a long time?
Thanks.
