Re: Peat vs. Sphagnum moss??

Anthony.........I don't think you will find that the sphagnum moss will do
much except make a mess of your tank.  Certainly it will not change the pH
as you wish it to.  I don't know how fast it will break down in the tank
because I personally have never tried it but I think several years ago I
heard a discussion in our Killifish group that it just breaks down too
quickly.  We have a killifish meeting tomorrow......I'll ask and have a
better answer for you after tomorrow.  Remind me to let you know!
