So, as many of you guys know I've been working on a Lake Malawi setup. Well, it's now currently inhabited with a Lwanda colony (pictures to come soon)!
Anyways, the question at hand is this: The substrate is a combination Caribsea Ocean Direct Live Oolite Sand and Caribsea African Cichlid Mix. These have done a good job raising my PH and keeping it steady at 8.2, but when performing water changes, should I mix in some buffering agents? Like baking soda & epsom salts or some other premade mix like SeaChem Malawi/Victoria Buffer?
