An Important Q About Ph

[lilstephii]

How can i raise my PH without using an chemicals in the water ?

Or is that the only way?

Ways to raise the pH

· Aerate the water, driving off the carbon dioxide (CO2)
· Filter over coral or limestone
· Add rocks containing limestone to the tank or use a coral sand substrate

(I copied this from a quick google search)

You do know you are posting in the "New World Cichlid" forum. Raising Ph for New World Cichlids shouldn't be done...
