Bit of an update....and big thanks to everyone who has given advice :thumbup: I put new CO2 on yesterday....i've been without CO2 for about a month, and done a 20% water change with 80% RO/20% hot tap water and the pH seems to have come down to 7.5. I'll continue with water changes as it's...

Just done a 20% (20 gallon) water change. I used 4 parts RO water to 1 part tap water (i use the hot water for the tap water) Tested pH after 5 minutes and it's dropped to around 8. I will re test in the morning to see if lime is leaching but for some reason, i can remember buying...

Tap water results.... GH = 220 ppm CaCO3 KH = 160 ppm CaCO3 Both the same as my tank pH = 7.5 just done another pH test on my tank and it's a minimum of 8.5 :jawdrop Hope that helps a little :crazy: Thanks Andy

Yeah...thinking about it, i used John Innes but can't remember if it was ericacious. How long will this continue leaching lime into the water column or would it be a strip-down job ? (tank has been set up for 7 months) Thanks

It's liquid mate

Quick overview 100 gallon tank, heavily planted. 2.5 wpg T8 lighting, Potting compost and playpit sand for substrate. CO2 injected via one of those glass jobbies with ceramic bit in. 30 rummys, 30 cardinals, 30 harliquins and a few other small fish.....all fish and plants are thriving...

Used them when breeding Siamese fighters last year. Don't know if they did any good but had bloody hundreds of baby fighters !!! :D They certainly turned the water brown with tannins

Would adding say 40-50 litres of rainwater to my 200L planted tank do any harm in order to make the water softer. We live in the middle of the south downs in Sussex and the water is filtered through chalk so is fairly hard. The collected rainwater is pretty pure as there's very little in the...
