Re: pH -Reply--Question for Wright

 I keep it forever. It is not alive. I keep wet peat in a 5G bucket with 
 a hex UGF (sans gravel) running in it. The water motion thru the sunken 
 peat seems to keep it forever in a sweet condition (i.e., no 
 "anaerobic" decay). The water in the bucket then becomes my extract 
 source.

Have you ever tested the hardness of the water in this bucket of peat?  I am
curious as to whether it will eventually measure zero.  I have experimented
with a new product called "Tank Soft".  It can drive hardness down to below
measureable levels using the standard <drops and titrate> test kits.
