Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] ph down

Coral will raise your pH not lower it. The peat moss will work over time but then you'll have to deal with changing the pH of the water your adding to do your water changes. I really need to know what animals you plan to keep that you need this lower pH? Its way better to stick with what you have as long as its stable.
