hi Kate, I would suggest soaking your peat for a long period of time (like 6 months +), in soft water. Changing the soak water several times, great for all the other acidophiles. This will reduce the tannin leaching from the peat. Then for the Notho. water, harden it up so the ph will not drop so easily and quickly. Using larger tank volume will also help to have a more stable enviro!
Most Notho enviroments do not seem very stable, they dry up,
and are dependant upon the changing water conditions for their continued survival.
In our case (aquarium maintanence) we need to change the water on occasion.
