SeymourFRESH said:sweet! i just read about prime and how it conditions heavy metals, ammonia, and nitrites too! that makes me want to completely convert to it
the only thing is i'd like to keep my pH down where it's at, and the other conditioner i have already does that...so i'm not too sure on what i should do there to maintain it at that level
we are getting CO2 at some point and i'm sure we could keep it down lower with that...
what do you guys think?
pH is something delicate.... usually, you want to plan on keeping the same pH as your tap water, unless you do small water changes and keep it constant (like a buffer in your water). Big pH swings (.2-.3) really affect your fish. So if you plan on keeping your pH down, make sure it is consistant. Others can chime in on how to keep it consistant, although I know reverse osmosis and peat moss are great ways.
