Chemistry question
Hi all,
I recently traded in some plants for some fine-grained Cambria gravel that I
wanted to add to my aquarium. I tested it with Muriatic acid and it fizzed
a lot though, so I know that it probably will raise my pH. I am thinking of
soaking it in diluted Muriatic acid to produce a "neutral" gravel. My
questions are:
1. Will this work?
2. Are there any bad, toxic by products (gas or otherwise)?
3. What are the chemical reactions? Where will the calcium go?
Thanks,
Hoa
