I have a co2 system releasing 1 bubble per second via ceramic diffuser into a 26 gallon tank for 8 hours a day during the photo period. I use tap water for water changes and can't seem to get the pH to lower past 7.8 (highest reading on my pH test). I know the Edmonton water has a fairly high KH but i feel like i may be doing something completely wrong here. I can give more details of my water chemistry if helpful. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this and reply!

Hello all, As usual, Im exploring the wide world of the au naturel. I have been reading about people using peat moss in their tanks to lower pH. Apparently Iron can become unavailable to plants if the pH of the water is to high. First off, is anyone doing this? And secondly, what kind of precautions would you recommend for someone trying this method? In particular Im interested in putting it in a filter, or hanging in the tank in a nylon. Any experience with this approach would be nice to hear about. Thanks again for letting me learn from you. James
