Looking for Indian Almond Leaves
the closer to the Tri City Area the better
Please post here or PM prices and location, I need quite a few depending on prices.
I can pick up.
you're pushing it at one large leaf for 10 gallons...
For true blackwater it's more like 1 leaf for 1 to 2 gallons....
If you boil the leaves you can make your own extract which you can make as concentraded as you want....
The leaves take about 3 days to water log and tan the water.... that's probably plenty of time for the fish to adjust since it's a slow process over three days...
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.
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..
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.
