Hi People,
I'm changing my planted tank substrate from seachem flourite capped with aragonite to ADA aqua soil Amazonia (normal and powder) capped with play sand tomorrow for my new corys. I'll be keeping the existing fish in a large tote while the ammonia settles from the ADA soil.
I'm worried about is the sudden change of pH because of not having the aragonite. This tank already has guppies, shrimp and Mystery snails.
What would be the best way to get the fish etc used to the lower pH? I'm also worried about calcium etc for the shrimp and snails without the aragonite, how do I increase KH and GH with aragonite?
Any hints or advice on what I'm planning to do or advice on the ADA soil.
Thanks
