Any suggestions for blackwater recipes?You can boil them to make black water.... Also They'll get here fast!
Black Water has a low PH.... and low mineral content....I've read 6-10 inches for 10 gallons for breeding. It really depends on the size of the leaf, and whether you leave it whole.
I never had a rapid ph drop, so I'm not too worried. Correct me if I'm wrong, I never paid close attention, I just no I haven't had deaths or dropped berries.
Ahhh, I should add I don't remove carbon or purigen from my filter, so the leaf may not have any effectiveness at all.
in Poco we are getting 7.4 out of the tap, Northside Poco in particular. I am right down the road from the lake we get our water from though so that may make a difference.i have em and live in pomo if you wanna meet by the dairy queen. theres also peat pelletsyou could use...to lower ph and tint. our ph is pretty low anyhow though..
Yes but with 1 leaf per 10 gallons are you getting any brown tint to the water at all? With the charcoal in there?I'm not really looking for a ph drop, I'm looking for the antibodies and some tanin to leech.
I've got a 6.5 from the flora base, with good KH and GH as it is.
