Thank you for the information Neil. The first three link are not working.

Any info on this? What's the pro and con? Is it safe to feed with such ingredient on a long term basis?

will it raise the GH value?

will coral chips disintegrate?

I live in Palatine, Illinois Yes, you are right, I'm planning on using the coral to buffer the water for african cichlids Thanks for your help.

The coral chips dissolving is what buffers the water. Crushed coral, as RD said, dissolves very slowly and i dont' think you need to worry about it. Are you planning on using this as a substrate? I'm planning to use it in my sump tank.

Thanks for the swift response. will the buffering effect be lessen or even gone as the coral chips slowly dissolving into the water?

Hi degrassi , thanks for the reply I'm referring to this type of coral chip. Do they have a lifespan and need to be replaced?

Is it truth that coral chips have a lifespan and need to be replace for every few months?
