Went out in my yard tonight and gathered a huge ziplock bag full of oak leaves. I've heard theta they're identical to Indian almond leaves in that they lower the pH of the water. I figured I'd ab them now before winter comes and I can't find many. However I don't need to use them yet and won't need them until my Fishroom is setup in late dec-early jan. I have a few questions about them though.
*How quickly and how low will they lower the pH to?
*Should I do anything to preserve them until I need them? (Right now they're stuffed tightly in a ziplock bag with all the air I could squeeze out of it gone)
*Do they need replaced so often in a tank and do they deteriorate quickly?
thanks guys!
