Kaliedoscope;4484471; said:Anything Karbonate or bi-carbonate, But you should really read up on buffering capacity and base-creating vs. Acid-creating reactions. Driftwood probably isn't the (direct) reason your PH is shifting like that, though it could be precipitating some solids resulting in a reduced buffering capacity or KH (Karbonate Hardness). I learned a hell of a lot about this from "Ecology of the Planted Aquarium" by diana Walstad. Even if you're not big on plants thats an awesome book
quality post, well done.
quality mentoring author choice also
