Hey guys I’ve been looking into almond leaves as a natural antibacterial/fungal resource and to also tint my water. Although, the acidic properties of the leaves will gradually lower my pH right? I have a pH of 7.4 and I keep harlequin rasboras and a betta. (Heavily planted.) I know a 7.0 or 6.8...

OMG I can't believe I forgot to mention that the tank is HEAVILY planted, 2 amazon swords, 1 Argentinian sword, 1 java fern, some java moss, 2 hornwort bunches, and duckweed on the top. I know they might be consuming any excess ammonia etc too but does it really happen that fast, I am just...

Thank you guys! The GH of the water at my school is VERY HARD at 185 ppm. I will try to do a full API master kit testing + KH and GH testing before I actually move there. I will make a post in couple months when I do a testing and post my home tap water and school tap water parameters to...

But even if I wanted to choose suitable fish I am attached to the animals I own rn how will I just replace them? Maybe I can slowly acclimate them to the higher ph water as if I was bringing them into the aquarium for the first time. Like drip acclimating and floating them on the water . You...

Hey, I am super new here and I just signed up because I have a lengthy question that I can’t really find the answer to online; So I have a heavily planted 10 gallon with Harlequin Rasboras and some shrimp where my PH is around 7.2, the same as the water from my house. I wanted to bring it...
