Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Makes me wonder since I dont have fish yet, only a few plants and Algal growth, if low CO2 is largely to blame? Does that mean that adding fish would reduce ph since they breath oxygen and exhale co2?

This also confirms that the Alum would be good, but I still am not sure how to apply it and what to expect with the agglomerations it makes. If anyone with Alum experience can weigh in, I'd appreciate it.
