Reply With QuoteLow pH is not very good for shrimps, right?
Can check out the shops at C328 or Serangoon North to see if any of them suits your use. They should come in various grain size. Too fine is no good for planting.
Hi,
Looking for those white color gravel with low ph as I will be adding in shrimps or fishes in future.
Please recommend a good brand. Price is not an issue. Thanks!

Seems like most shrimps require somewhat acidic pH leh... Think cherries do best ~pH6.5 or something near that...
But where got white substrates that are acidic??White substrates usually harden the water and raises the pH... Unless you buy polymer or silica type.
Anyway, yes, too fine a substrate is not good for planting. But too coarse also not good...

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted!), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Shrimps care more about clean water and high DO than the pH itself.

How about river sand? So far, what brands would you all recommend?

If you want something to lower your PH, you can try adding coco peat!
Carib Sea has white sand that they claim will not affect pH, except its sand..the next closest is Estes Spectrastone. Alittle late on this info, sorry, ha ,ha.
the best is ada soil.. but it comes in black colour.. if u prefer white can try lapis sand but is not totally white.. mixed colour with yellow, white etc..
