I am planning on changing my 6' tank into a south american tank and have quite a bit of driftwood in already. Now my question is, would changing one or two of my Asian Style OHF chambers/compartments to wood chippings help to soften the water suitably for SA cichlids like acara, eartheaters or angels?
The wood I am thinking of using would be small pieces of driftwood from an LFS broken into smaller pieces for slightly greater surface area. Would this be more stable than using peat as these little pieces of wood will leach tannins slower and more constantly than peat.
