low pH (was) Re: [GSAS-Member] big cichlid appetites...

Sometimes I do have to struggle to maintain a pH low enough to be suitable
for the fish in question, and it has nothing at all to do with 'not enough
water changes' or too much decomposing gunk. Think about receiving a bag
full of licorice gouramis with bag pH of ~6.0 (wink).
