Hi all

I am in the process of setting up my 135-gallon, and I know--purists will tell you African cichlids need high PH and there is no driftwood in the African lakes. But I have always loved the look of a good piece of driftwood.

Has anyone used driftwood in a tank of Africans without a problem? And if so, how without altering the PH?

Thanks a lot.

Ted
 
Thanks Convict--cave-rocks question . . .

I use it and love the look, no issues with pH to report BUT I do use a media bag filled with crushed coral in my HOB filter.

Convict--Thanks and for posting the photos. Tank looks great! The cave-rocks you have in the tank--where did you get them? Fish using them?

Thx

Ted
