acidrain is on a distinguished road
Default Re: newbi with ambition

Even at 10:1, the PH will be way off the scale. We have talked about finding specific gravity, but I don't think anybody really figure out if that was acurate.
Just mix store-bought battery acid 1:3 with distilled water (1 part acid to 3 parts water). I marked my tank's level to visually see if any evaportaion has occured, and add water as needed.
Remember the three A's... Always Add Acid. Slowly add the acid to the water to avoid boiling up in your face.
Always wear safety glasses too. I have accidently dropped stuff in my tank... ker plunk. Acid -eaten clothes can be replaced... well you get the idea.
Glad to help.
