After doing more research, I found out that rocks can actually change the water parameters. Â And just my luck, the rocks that I purchased earlier is one of those rocks that’s not ideal for CRS as it will raise the GH. Â From talking to Kevin from theshrimpjounal, he mention that in order for me to breed CRS I need to go get the rocks that won’t change your water parameters. Â Even if my water is low on GH, it is not good to depend on a rock to raise the GH. Â You rather have everything in the tank start with zero and use controlled buffers to raise the water parameters. Â This gives you more control and better results.
So I went back to AFA store again and exchange the rocks that I bought for some Menton stones. Â Menton stones are NOT cheap! Â Try $7.99 / lb!
