    bros,

    i'm rescaping my moscow guppies community tank. Have taken out the shiny black quartz. Thinking of adding black magic soil or nisso soil but understand that they lower PH level and hence may be unsuitable for my guppies.
    Other than Denerrle Black quartz, any recommendation on wat other type of black soil that will not lower ph level?
    Not considering lapis, gravel and the normal shiny black quartz.
    Any advise is appreciated.

    I'm using this. Learnt from Yun Feng boss that it's pretty neutral and suitable for guppy, not sure if it's the same type of substrate you're using though.

    that's lapis. if you're concern about lowering pH you can mix some dolomite/coral chips with your soil or you could just buy calcium carbonate from dr mallick and soak your soil with that. or you could use GEX red packet soil but i think its brownish

    you can buy dennerle nano series substrate for shrimps
    black and small grains

    i'm not sure whether it is the same as your dennerle black quartz.

    Seachem fluorite substrate other than onyx sand are one of those fertilized substrate that does not alter pH.
