Driftwood Question

[piranhaman00]

So if i add a piece of driftwood to my tank the PH will lower.

Doesnt that mean that when i do a water change the ph will go back to normal and then start falling again?

Wont that stress the fish?

Thanks

I have a ton of mopani wood in my tank and I have never noticed a ph change substantial enough to worry about. I wish it did, the PH near Denver is pretty high.

It depends on how well buffered your water is. Mine is hard enough that tons of driftwood does nothing noticeable to the pH.
