Hi all,
cheers Darrel
&1/2 a leaf in my 60l tank turned the water very brown
More alder cones, ordinary cork or oak bark will all stain the water, although the Terminalia cattapa leaves suggested are probably the easiest. They won't have much effect on the pH, your water still has a lot of buffering left.Is this recommended or will it have too much impact on water chemistry? My current chemistry stands at: pH 7.5, GH 9, KH 5.
cheers Darrel
