driftwood lower ph level

[edi.helmy]

heard many forumer mention driftwood can help reduce ph level. any idea how lower it can be my current PH 6.9

I am hoping to adjust my ph to 6.5 or lower. I am using C02 injection also, when C02 stop ph raise up again.

Current soil GEX

Driftwood does help to lower pH but only very slightly.

Bro,

Any better way to move ph down naturally aside from CO2 injection, thanks

Read some info, KETAPANG OR PEAT may do the job but don't know how often the change require.

what did you put in your filter? Gex soil should drop lower the pH

I am using GEX soil.

Filter i put standard filtering, no peat or ketapang.

Thanks

I see I was though that you put coral chip. It is ok to put ketapang or peat inside filter.

Ketapang does lower pH too but only slightly.

Peat or any soil with pH reducing qualities would be able to satisfy the pH range that you want, i.e, 6.5 and below.
