This thread? http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...970&highlight=
---edit--- Refering to post #10, he shared how he kept his pH low. Alternatively, here in Sg, maybe we can consider using peats. ---edit--- I only successfully (and they breed) keep CRS in quartz based tank last time. Have not try soil-less. Last edited by globalcookie; 26-09-2011 at 01:24 PM. |

can say the result is good for first 1 month nia. after that will jut maintain at ph 7. i believe minimum amount of soil will help too.
my dump tank has less than 1cm thickness of soil, but able to keep ph low at 6.5 |

My 2 tested tanks maintained at pH 7 too. The pH didn't seem to drop at all. They are already in the 2nd weeks and 3rd weeks. So far the reaults are still ok. Have also the pregnant ones gone for testing.

indo n sg water is different
we might need to use rain water if go soil less but the first 10 mins of rain could pose another issue |
