Hi,
I was wondering how difficult it is for a relative beginner to keep an aquarium at a pH of 5 or even lower. From what I understand, some of the species that I would like to keep in the future (paucisquamis, T. candidi, iniridae, elizabethae) require such low levels to breed.
When keeping fish at such low pH, how is this best done? Filtering my osmosis water with peat works really well, but how can I maintain water stable at such low pH? And how can I avoid a pH drop that might kill the fish?
Thank you!
