Ted,
I use regular Sphagnum peat from HD. Large bale cost around $8.
Large filter bag (14" x 10") filled with peat soaks in 30gal. container filled with RO water.
It takes about a week to bring pH down to 5. I use drift wood and oak leaves directly in tanks if lower pH is required.

Hi Aquacave
How many peat moss did you gave into your 30 gl conatiner? What species of oak leaves do you use?

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
