PETEYPLECO Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Cheers for the advise, the carbon has been out for at least 3 to 4 weeks now, the oyster shell has been in for a week - how long will the shell take to raise the ph?

PETEYPLECO Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 YAAAAHOOOO Tested my PH lastnight and its 7.0 at last. So that has taken about two week to go from 6.6 to 7.0 with the addition of the oyster shell. All fish look happy and the water is no longer cloudy which happened shortly after the addition of the shell. I will keep an eye on the ph to see where it goes from here. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVISE ALL ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETEYPLECO Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 PH still stable at 7.0 - great way of raising and stabilising it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_jay_01 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I just use a bit of natural coral that i found on the beach to keep my PH up to my tanks standards. I did soak the coral for a couple of days before using in my tank though. I also boiled it for about 10mins aswell, to get rid of any little nasties that may have been stil in there.
