Hopefully this topic is not too dead...(although stickys never really die)

...But don't most cichlids (particularily Africans) prefer a pH between 7.8 and 8.6? I am actually in the process of switching to coral sand in my cichlid tank. I've read from several sources including www.cichlid-forum.com that coral pieces can be benificial in cichlid tanks to provide proper pH buffering and increase water hardness. Please correct me if what I am saying is horribly wrong...
