How to Use pH Adjustment Rock
This is VERY IMPORTANT! The pH rock MUST be placed directly behind the Tri Base Pelletized Carbon (TBPC). The reason for this is that the acid from the bacteria is the highest at that point and reacts with the pH rock. IF you do not place the pH rock behind the TBPC, the reaction will not be complete. Just hanging it in a bag in the sump will not hack it. It has been tried in all ways, and this is the way it works.
