Aquarium Advice Freak
I've been trying to lower my pH lately using natural methods. I tried Indian almond leaves, but they didn't do anything but darken the water. Then I got some EHEIM Torf peat pellets, put them in my AquaClear HOB, and it dropped my pH from 7.6 to around 6.8 in just a couple of hours. After 24 hours, it's still safely 6.8 without any fluctuation.
EHEIM says to replace the peat every 3 weeks and I used about 1/4 of the box, so I can get about 3 months of this stuff for $15 on Amazon.com.
Another thing that's great is unlike Indian almond leaves, the pine cones or regular peat moss, this stuff keeps the water crystal clear.
Mainly letting everyone know because I've never seen this stuff mentioned before here on this forum
