Need help on aquascape tank with CRS.

Increase CO2 to lower the pH is a recipe for disaster, if you do not has plant to use the CO2 and making tiny O2 bubble.

too much CO2 can cause CO2 poisoning.

I do have plants and they are doing well, giving out bubbles.

Most prob will setup another asap to transfer the CRS over.

Did a 20% water change and bring the GH from 19 down to 13.

BTW can anyone advised on the GH level of CRS tank?

I increases the CO2 to the tank and managed to maintian the PH at 6.5.

I think the worst effect of rock is to increase of pH, basically it will ruin the acidic property of your soil. You paid for a bag of soil for it acidic property, then you add in rock, pH increase, screw up everything.

Then now you add CO2 to lower the pH....

Haiz...just brought a new tank. Will tansfer CRS over once the tank got cycled. Guess a DW with moss scape will be on the safe side.

Bro Silane, wat will be the ideal ph and gh? Should I also intro mineral plus and old sea mud to thw new tank?

I am thinking of putting volcanic rock tied with fissiden moss into my crs tank. Is this volcanic rock ok with crs. I got the rocks from OTF LFS at Pasir Ris.

My colleague CRS tank had a piece of V.rock with moss...the CRS was doing well and breeding. So I tink at moderate it should not have problem.

OK Thanks for the info. Will go ahead with the volcanic rock.

Hi Bro Silane,

Please specific the rocks that you mentioned will raise the PH. Does Lava rocks tied with mosses increase the PH?

check the nitrate nitrite and ammonia if you have the kits

the tank running for 1 month i would assumed its cycled
