Why do vegetarians think it's worse to kill mollusks(clams etc), than bugs, or eat dairy?
I'm not trolling, I know I asked a similar question earlier, but after getting some interesting answers I'd like to pose the question differently. I am a huge defender of animal rights, but recently discovered mollusks(clams, oysters etc) don't have brains. I realized also that I don't kill bugs, but they die for my veggies, I eat dairy and this is all ok with vegetarians, but when I mentioned eating mollusks, I actually got judged and "lost my vegetarian status" with some for eating clams. This seemed so hypcritical, are we missing the point? So I'm posing the question again. With all the talk about vegans not wanting to eat honey, how does it make sense that we don't insist on say hydroponics for our veggies, or start a humanely harvested "no bugs harmed when picked" veggie platform? If you are worried about the environment and the oceans, their are humane and sustainable options for mollusks, and if you eat seaweed, you can be sure fish are hurt and killed in the process as well.
Hmm, I think it's always going to be a big disagreement whether or not vegetarians can eat fish and seasfood because like you said, they don't have brains, and some people believe fish can't feel pain. Others, on the other hand, still don't believe it is morally right. But... it is true that if you eat fish or seafood, technically you're not a vegetarian, but a pescatarian.

Is it ok to put a ph down solution meant for gardens or pools in an aquarium for tropical fish?
The price for a ph down solution for pools or gardens (hydroponics) can be less than the ones marketed for aquariums.
Thanks for the responses, but I don't believe I have received a definitive reason why. I would agree that lowering the ph naturally with the help of peat moss, driftwood and soft water would be nice, but I don't really have those conveniences (I've even tried aquarium salt). To help things along, rather than buying an expensive RO system to soften the water (so that I can easily bring down the ph), I've resorted to successfully using a PUR water filter. It's not nearly as good as a RO system, but is much better than straight tap. I just set up a new tank and would like to get the ph from a 7+ to around 6.5 for my cichlids that I haven't introduced. Is there anyone out there who has experimented with garden and pool chemicals to lower ph for aquariums?
absolutely not
you're not even suppose to put the ones in you can buy for that purpose
why? because it will not keep the pH stable
it's much more important to keep a stable pH then a changing pH
natural ways to lower pH are
peatmoss
and
driftwood
