Things You'll Need
- 1 handful of crushed coral
- 1 handful of peat chips
- Mesh bag
- Rubber band
- Pot of water
Instructions
Raising the pH
Place the crushed coral into the mesh bag.
Tie bag closed using the rubber band.
Rinse the bag of coral under a faucet to remove any excess dust.
Place the rinsed bag of coral within your tank's filter, behind the cartridge, so that water flows through it.
Lowering the pH
Place the peat chips within the mesh bag and tie it shut with a rubber band.
Let the bag of peat chips soak in the pot of water for approximately 24 hours. This is to thoroughly remove embedded dust that may turn your water brown, or tea-colored.
Rinse the bag under a faucet to remove any excess dust, dirt, or debris.
Place the freshly rinsed bag within your tank's filter, preferably near the cartridge.
