I found this paragraph humorous. I came upon it while reading one of Randy Holems-Farley's articles on pH.
"All of the situations described above involve chronically low pH. None of them involve acute, or transient, pH excursions. In certain situations these can occur, however, and knowing what to do may be of interest. Now you are not likely to do what I did, and add a chunk of dry ice to the sump just to see what happens. But if you do, you will notice the pH drop…and drop…and drop. Soon, you will be convinced that the pH of 5 is going to kill your entire tank (it didn’t in my case, but I don’t recommend this process for general entertainment)."
