No wood either and I know some release tannins or might increase/decrease ph so I didn’t want to mess with that especially when cycling. Especially as...

Hello, I’m very new to the hobby and it was an emergency rehoming situation to which I obtained the fish. Long story short, I have the fish in a 54 litre but I am currently cycling a 105 litre for them. The 54 litre with the fish is currently cycling too The problem is my pH levels are not...
