All -- I am going to make my 125g tank a Blackwater tank that I have a group of true parrots in in now . My water comes from a well and has around a 8.4 PH level. I am not sure of the hardness but it is pretty high in Central Indiana. I would like to use two AC110's with peat to buffer this how much peat per gallon should I use. I have a commerical RO sytsem that I will be installing in a couple of weeks.. but for now I would like to soften this water a bit for these parrots and create a blackwater enviroment.
