Hello everyone,
I am in the process of planning a 150 gal discus tank. I think I have about everything squared away. But one thing that I am asking help on is my tap water is around 7.8 ph 5 kh and 6 gh. Is there a way of acheiving lower ph levels without all the chemicals?? I have seem "prime" and most of the other buffers. One more thing I think I should add is that I have not kept discus yet mainly gouramies, hatchets and loaches (my 60 gal tank) and the 150 gal is for the discus with a few german blue rams and cory's it will be a planted setup and some of the buffers I have seen skyrocket phosphorus...........hence algae. Any ideas will surely help I am still in the planning/research stage............what is everyone else doing to maintain their ph??? Thank you in advance...........Rob
