Hi All :lol:
I am investigating the possibilities of the variety of acids we can use to lower the PH.
I am aware about shell grids and Corals to stabilise the PH but that is not want i want to investigate.
Powders like, PH down etc are OK, but expensive if you have a few large tanks with lots of W/C. besides i dont like them as they do not mix as readily as liquids acids.
So we have Nitric Acids, Phosphoric and Sulphuric all readily available, all in liquid form and of a variety of Molecular strength.
So the questions are these :idea: :idea:
1. Is it save to use these as alternative to powder?
2. What strength (Molar) do we use?
3. Does any-one use liquids acid, and if so, with what results?
Regards.....Jim
