Does that mean I can't add driftwood to an established tank, or is the
change too subtle?

Also, doesn't changing the substrate also change it? I'm still pondering

the

least expensive way to get some green plants in there.

I would have thought, and others can correct me, that the driftwood leeches
gradually into the water so any pH change would be gradual....

With the substrate I would have thought it would depend what substrate you
use.


I didn't even notice the slightest pH dip when I chucked in three large
pieces into my 75g aquarium. I'd think the effect was negligible.
