I want to lower my pH and start CO2 fertilizing in my main tank. I understand that there are two ways that you can kill two birds with one stone here: Peat Moss or CO2. I've found plenty of info on how peat moss can lower PH but that only mentions CO2 as a side effect, and vice/versa on the CO2 fertilization.
Does anyone have experience with this, or can point me in the right direction to get more holistic info? I'm especially interested in the peat moss as I was thinking about using that as a substrate in a hoped-for Malaysian biotope tank. I haven't decided whether to go blackwater or not yet and want to learn more about it before I go diving into the shallow end of the pool. . .
