水草情迷

我的水族箱已經有四個禮拜都加pH Up, 有很多次pH降到6.8, 最後在不換水的情況下還是跳回了7.6, 目前底沙和水都沒有貝殼成分, 但是終究逃不過pH增長的問題, 曾經看過一個貼文說 peat moss 在沸煮過後放入濾水氣可以降低pH並且保持pH

也許是我上課上太多了, 我不喜歡買那些對環境有犧牲的產品, peat moss是從沼澤地區挖掘出來賣的, 害死了不少自然環境裡的動物, 再加上我能花在買東西的金錢已經不多, 我想請問有沒有人是過用茶葉袋來降低pH.

我想試的方法是, 將茶葉袋泡過兩次 (茶當然不要浪費, 喝掉啦), 在放入濾水器裡, 我測過泡過兩次的茶水pH6.0 (好像還更低, 但是我的pH測試組測不出低於6.0的, 請問有專家能提供意見嗎? 茶葉有沒有傷害魚的成分呢?

年紀太小就喝茶是不好的, 請問你的魚魚今年紀歲?? hehe.

其實我恐怕要用很多的茶葉方可令魚缸的PH 下降.
另外, 茶包(紅茶) 是經過炒及烘烤的過程, 不知會否產生毒害魚隻的毒素?

綠茶會否好一點呢? 純天然植物的綠葉, 影響性較低, 但我沒有測此PH 的組驗唷?~

是啊, 是綠茶 冲泡兩次過後pH6.0以下, 應該可以吧? 我不想直接用新的茶包下去, 一方面浪費美好得茶葉, 另一方面, 我不想讓魚魚"泡茶"喝...

會唔會成缸水都染晒色架.....

i tried b4, need a lot of tea leaves.
Can't drink enough tea to get that much leaves,
so gave up finally.

Actually the way they collected peat moss is quite environmentally friendly in Canada. U can read that up
on the net about how this product is mined in a responsible way. Of course the cost is another story...

泥炭土是枯葉，枯木經多年腐敗而成，草泥丸才是蘚苔等經多年腐敗而成．工效上，小弟覺得後者的持久性較好．而茶葉只是經過乾燥或烘焗等方法造成，沒有被長年壓縮過，效果比起草泥丸差太遠了，而且ｐｈ很難穩定在６．０阿．其實還可以到郊外採一些大的葉子，待乾燥後再放到濾水器內，同樣是有這效果的，那種樹的葉較好我就不知了．　

從7.6降到7.0了, 不知道會不會保持7.0... 實驗中

Try to collect some clean Oak leaves, boil them and put into the tank. It will decrease the PH and provide hiding place for apistos.

水出現了一點點的茶色...
不知道加拿大有沒有oak tree... I'll check it out...

I think Oak is the most popular tree in the whole North America. It's for sure you can find some in your area. Boiling is to make the leaves sink and get rid of bacteria.

Oak tree is everywhere in temperate zone. I am sure there are plenty in Canada. Btw, it could be hard to find at the moment cuz it is winter there.

Cockatoo: R u refering to the falling leaves? Yellowish (fresh fallen) or the dry brown one?

我讀到茶包上面的字:
"茶含有天然的抗氧化因子---茶兒素
是極少數含抗氧化因子的飲料
越來越多證據顯示, 茶及蔬果中所含的各種抗氧化因子是健康飲食中極為重要的一環"

抗氧化不就會容易使人睡覺? 是不是代表比較多二氧化碳? 那為什麼還有人說喝茶能醒神? 那既然抗氧, 對水草是不是就有益呢?

抗氧化因子應該不是比較多二氧化碳, 但有些醫學家做的研究, 抗氧化因子可以預防癌症, 也說綠茶可以防癌......

詳情真是不知了..........................

抗氧化 means to inhibit oxidation. When a substance gains oxygen, it is said to being oxidized. Oxidation does not always need to involve oxygen though, a substance is being oxidized if its oxidation number increases (losing electrons), ie, Fe2+ -> Fe3+, then we said Fe2+ is being oxidized to Fe3+.
Oxidation is not desired sometime, ie it causes rust in iron, or oxidises the free radicals in our body, which scientists said causes cancer etc etc.
