    RO unit worth it?

    Here still thinking if i should/want to use and buy a RO unit. Currently using rain water as a test to see if it works good(just for the plants etc).

    Rainwater confussion

    Other question: when using RO or rainwater etc and you want to add minerals to it you have these GH/KH products. But is there a difference between GH+ for aquarium and Ponds? Or can you also use for example Velda GH+ in your aquarium to add the minerals?

    Tap water or Rain water??

    Ordered a barrel today (was on sale :) ) and will put it on a different location as before. This time in the shadow part of the garden. Plan is to use a old pond pump which i now use inside a bucket in the sink to refill the tank. But in the barrel i can put some fine filtering on the pump so it...

    Tap water or Rain water??

    Here also thinking to get a rain barrel in the garden (after the other one broke/cracked because of the sun etc :P few years ago ) or get a RO system......
