 | Using Peat Moss? |
Phloyd456 Hobbyist Posts: 86 Kudos: 83 Votes: 1 Registered: 09-Aug-2002   | I wanna us peat moss to soften up my water. Can I use any peat moss from a hardware or garden store or should I try something meant for aquariums? I have tried peat granules but they don't seem to soften the water up much. |
