I am considering setting up a botanical style aquarium for some appistogramma. I want to use lots of leaves / wood and pods as well as other botanicals I can get my hands on. My question is can I sustain this on tap water alone? I am aware that the botanicals ect will lower the PH but this isn't my aim, they will be used more for decorative purposes rather than lowering PH. I know this will also produce tannins which will stain the water which I am not particularly bothered about either. I just want to know the best method of using the botanicals without using RO or rain water for waterchanges.
