Aquarium Advice FINatic
I'm plugging along here with this tank. Water Parameters are looking good. I think I'm going to remove the last little bit of shrimp used for cycling and do a 50% water change tomorrow and finish the rock scape. I foraged the rocks locally and I believe they're igneous basalt. The vinegar test was fine, but I do need some hydrochloric acid for rock hounding in the future.
After the pwc, I figured it would be prudent to put a few inexpensive tetras in there for a week or so before my next visit to the wetspot.
So the tap water here is on the hard side, around 7.6. I'm looking to soften the water with dw, almond leaf, and boiled peat/sphagnum moss. I'd like to put a satchel of moss in the AC 70 if that's a good idea? Many questions here. for pwc's, I'm going to fill an ice chest with tap water, heater, powerhead, and another satchel of natural water softeners the night before.
Here's a couple pics of moss products from the home depot, Any good?
