here are some pictures of my 40 gallon planted tank. Maybe, after it is aquascaped better, I might convert or addict a few of ya'll. I'll have some pictures of the reef soon, maybe tomorrow.

So what do you use in your freshwater RO/DI or just tap ? Do you add something like peat moss to lower the PH ?

I use tap. Out here in Theodore, we have very, very soft water (<1dKH) and it comes out neutral. I use CO2 to drive the pH down to about 6.6, which provides the adequate amount of CO2, at least after I get the KH up to about 3. This has proven to work very well, as pH never changes more than .1 at any given time.
