So I added a nice piece of Mopani driftwood to my 8 gallon planted shrimp tank and it lowered my ph from 7 to 5.5.
Luckily there's nothing but some hitchhikers (pond snails) in there as I've been letting it cycle for awhile.
But I'm eager to add some shrimp and or a CPO or two and am thinking I will probably have to raise the PH. I don't want to use any checmicals so I was thinking of added a small bag of crushed coral to the filter. Has anyone else tried something similar? Are there any shrimp of dwarf crayfish that can handle such a low ph?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
