Need sugestion in using cocopeat

[Shadow]

Thinking of using cocopeat mixed with base fert but afraid that it will cloudy the water when I do major re-scaping. So I'm thinking, whould it make any better if I pack the cocopeat inside small onion bag (plastic net used to wrap onion in the supermarket)? Any sugestion/recomendation?

Another question is does cocopeat lower water pH?

Thanks in advance

That might work but with most things submersed in water, the cocopeat with disintergrate over time so you'll end up with a mess, but a lesser mess perhaps.

Cocopeat does lower the pH of the water.

Some local red top soil, a bit of coco peat and some burnt hay/husk compost topped with plain silica sand does well enough for me... at least on a low light setup.

My setup would turn a bit tea colour after a week or two without any WC, and it must be the hummic acid/tannin from the peat/husk.

Thanks bro, just bough cocopeat "volcanic potting mix". Unfortunately, the peat was cut or grain into small pieces, so the idea won't work

used it before. cocopeat mixed with JBL aquabasis fert topped with Lapis sand.

things are alright at first but gets real messy when it comes to rescaping.
