peanut2110 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi there, this may be a dumb question but does anyone out there know if bamboo affects ph in the same way as driftwood? Or if there are any problems with using it in a tank? I have access to lots of bamboo and have been toying with the idea of making some sort of structure for my cichlids to swim through and hang about in... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananalobster Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Not sure if it buffers water like driftwood does but I know it is used in aquarium set ups. Found a site for setting up an asian tank thought you might be interested http://images.google.co.nz/imgres?imgur ... n%26sa%3DN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut2110 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hmmmm... thanks for that - the fact it can make a tank "smell like a brewery" is rather off putting - perhaps effects on the ph are the least of it! Plus it looks like I would have to come up with a cunning plan to keep the bamboo in some sort of horizontal formation without floating away! May have to go back to the drawing board and consider other alternatives... Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
