Aquarium Advice Regular
I have some questions as I go about acquiring the supplies for my new 30G FW tank.
1) My PH is high - Out of the faucet, untreated it's 7.8, from my existing thank - 1 week since my last PWC it's an 8.2. I've heard that getting driftwood would bring down the PH. Is that something that's recommended or would it cause too much fluctuation of PH during future PWC's? Hopefully that question made sense.
2) Do I need to do or get anything special now if I'm going to add plants in the future? I know eventually I'll want real plants, so if I need to select a particular gravel or filter please advise!
For equipment I'm leaning towards the Marineland Stealth Visi-Therm 100W heater and the Aqua Clear 150 for a filter.
Thanks!
