Ramba Bamba Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Gonna start a black water tank with a bunch of tetras. Any one have any experience? My water is about 8.0 PH and liquid rock out of the tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTill Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Pretty much my water. Looks great with tannins, no risk of low pH issues lol. Don’t expect meaningful drops in pH. I also ran the setup with pure RO water and didn’t notice any meaningful differences, but it was a LOT more work to do changes.

Marc Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I collected 5 gallons of rain water in a bucket today in about 30 minutes. I plan to give it a try too this winter. Should be easy as long as the weather cooperates. My PH is around 8.0 too. I'll just store a few buckets worth. May see if I can get some breeding going.

MickS77 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have hard tap water as well. I don't worry about it and just focus on aesthetics, the Tetras do fine in hard water. I have Lemon, Pristella, Flame, Redeye, and Serpae Tetras in the tank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
