hey was after some information on what water parameters everybody keeps there fish .my question is my water has a very low kh (kh 1 or less),and as i keep my tanks heavily stocked(25 tanks all bare bottom with sponge filters)so l am finding i am having to do daily water changes to keep the ph stable (sometimes twice daily on fry and juvie tanks)i was wanting to buffer the water somehow to slow down the ph drop and make the fish happier.i have never used buffers before and would like some input on using buffers.my ph after ageing is 7.6 and in the heavily stocked tanks drops to about 7.1-7.2 in 24 hours.i would love to know what all the home breeders use in there fish rooms when there tanks are over stocked .thanks lawrence
