Plant weights

[Kushgodrex]

Will plant weights that usually come from fish stores affect the ph?

[jetajockey]

No, they don't.

They are lead and need to be removed.

[Kushgodrex]

That's what I thought, would they cause my ph to rise? Or lower?

[Rivercats]

They don't affect ph at all. If I need or want some type of plant anchor I use these (like in my goldfish tanks when I had them for years)... Professional Plant Anchors.

They're zinc, no lead. 100% Aquarium safe for long term use.

One of the farms told me they use lead, another said theirs are a zinc alloy. Both were adamant that neither affects tank systems.
