So the baseline pH measurement for our local tap (after treated with a dechlorinator) is 8.0~8.2. It's a bit on the high range for our tastes and since we don't have any cichlids we would like to lower the pH to the 7.5 range. So the question is, in a 30g tank, how much peat moss do we have to use under our substrate to lower the pH down to a more neutral range?
I do realize that this is a difficult question to answer due to the high KH value that often accompanies hard/alkaline water but I would appreciate any guesstimates.
