I have read a bit about black water environments and know of more than a couple who use IAL, peat moss and tanins from their driftwood to create the environment in their shrimp tanks.
My question is how do you manage the PH stability in the tank using these? How do you prep your replacement water to match the black water conditions in your tank? It all seems rather fluid and unstable.
Use of a PH buffering substrate I am guessing will solve this. What if you aren't using those substrates? How do you manage it then?
