CAN U KEEP MALAWI'S IN WATER WITH MOPANI WOOD, I AM TOLD THIS WOOD WOULD DROP MY PH LEVELS, OR WOULD IT BE BEST TO KEEP THE SEA ROCK IN THERE TOO

there seem to be conflicting views on it, about half my tanks are FULL of bog wood (when i use bog wood i use loads) and half my tanks have no bog wood in

pH is exactly same in each tank, well i say that, but what i mean, is the colours on pH test results are exactly the same

if bog wood softens water, then why would peeps need to bother with RO and other expensive and compliacted water softening procedures???

multiple posting alert

but anyway i have a variety of bood wood in my Rio 180, easily £100 worth if you went to normal fish shops, some if brand new, some is 2nd hand, some is Mopani, no difference to my pH and thats after lots of readings in a period of over 6months

pH in my Rio 180 is 7.8
pH in all my other tanks 7.8
pH in my Rock and Gravel tank 7.8

and that was done in Dartford fish shop where they measure it accurately

if there is bog wood that softens water, i want some!!!!

then i can start getting more South American Cichlids

i have 6 tanks BUT,

2 of them are tiny fry tanks and my biggest tank is only 180litres, so not exactly loads of water in that respects

nice bit of wood you got there Kobiskye (and i refer to bog wood in the picture mate)!

can you do us a favour and take your pH readings NOW and also maybe your pH readings at weekly intervals over next few months and post on here???

he he, thats sounds bossy BUT there is nothing like proper evidence being gathered and posted for us to examine the results like the scientists we are.... seriously would be useful mate
