 | Shellie keepers ..... coral & wood |
wish-ga  Mega Fish Dial 1800-Positive-Posts Posts: 1198 Kudos: 640 Registered: 07-Aug-2001   | If I have a shellie setup with crushed coral substrate but add a piece of driftwood for visual will it mess with the pH? Tank 4ft. Wood about 12" x 8" x 8" (guesstimate?) ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |

An entirely coral substrate provides a heckuva lot of buffering capacity. I think the easiest thing, though, is just pre-soak it to remove as many tannins as you can. |

Shelved it when I had a malawi all rock setup. Have put it back in circulation, over the weekend I did the shellie set up in anticipation of stock. Once it sinks I think it will look very good. Thanks for your reply! ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |
