I got one of those pH down bottles, trying to lower the pH in my new
55gallon tank to 6.5, been a pain, the bottle says if you have fish in the
tank not to lower more then .2 per 24 hours, anyone know if its the same for
plants? Im leaning towards yes seeing how theyre alive and all.

You might consider trying peat moss (or granules of same) in a bag in
your filter. I was dubious of this myself, but several people I
respect here suggested it, so I gave it a shot.

It reduced my pH from 8.2 to 7.8 in just a few days. Not bad for an
all-natural approach.
