Hello,
I have driftwood, petrified wood, river rocks and natural "pagoda stone" in my 20 gallon SA tank. I am pretty sure none of those will raise hardness or PH.
But, I recenty bought a small piece of lace rock (about 1/2 pound) to put into my 20 gallon. Will this relatively small piece of lace appreciably raise either PH or hardness? I am very concious about keeping PH below 6.6 and the water very soft.
I have heard mixed comments about this, some say it will raise only hardness, some say both hardness and PH, and my LFS said that it is totally safe.
What do you think?
