Theres a lot of mention on these forums of people just "Dropping their Ph"
My Question is .... how does everyone go about it ? I only know of 2 sure fire ways to drop your Ph... a Ph buffer, and Hydrochloric acid ( Which probably have similiar properties anyway). There are a few other ways but nothing as effective from what I can tell.
I'm told Ph Buffers can have a serious impact on breeding abilities. Now I don't know if I believe that because surely not so many of you guys would use them if that was the case.... also, That would be fine in a display tank... but how does everyone do it for breeding fish if you dont use a ph buffer of some sort? I think its possible by aging water for longer periods of time, however I've never tried it so i wouldn't know how to go about it . I've been blesed up until this point with the water coming out of my RO unit being a steady ph of 6.4 hence never the need to ask !!
Cheers Guys :D
