Hi Folks, For those people who use RO water + remineralizers, what resulting water pH do you get? I just hope that I'm not the only one who uses RO water! Any and all feedback very welcome! JPC

Hi all, I will be setting up an ADA 60p over the next month or so. I am coming from a marine background and therefore have a spare RO unit knocking around. I can't decide what route to go down i.e. 100% remineralised RO water, RO water cut with tap water or just straight tap water. I've...

My water out the tap is about GH12 / KH5 / TDS ~320 and whilst in theory this is meant to be find for Cherry shrimp I lost the first two colonies I attempted to setup. For the third attempt I mixed 2/3 tap with 1/3 deionised water and this has proved fruitful and now I have a lot of breeding...

Hi im moving my shrimp to a 125l from a 27l and have been using an ro filter which was 25gpd I've now upgraded to 200gpd and wanted to check as I'm still new to using RO water it's reduces to 4 tds from 450 which I presume is fine as it's about 99% and waste is at 1:1.25 when I measured. Just...

Hi, I have set up a hardscape consisted of some lava rocks and a Tropica Aquasoil which I intend to use it for plants mostly (HC carpet & parvula mini) . I bought this RO filter https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aquili-osmosis-Complete-treatment-Aquarium/dp/B07C9LQJBX and I am wondering If I made a...

Hi Folks, In my tropical planted tank (including fish), I use RO water to which I add Tropic Marin Re-Mineral Tropic salts. I also add sodium bicarbonate to bring the KH and GH to 5°dH and 7°dH, respectively. In as little as 9 days, the KH has increased to 6.5°dH. When KH = 6.5°dH, pH varies...

guys considering going the full RO route on my main tank one major consideration is the water changes. I do RO on the nano tank at the moment and can cope with the pre-mixing, bucket route but for the main thats too messy and too timing consuming so I am considering a more automated route...

Hello I did a spot check on my fish tank today and in particular the internal Juwel filter. The reason I check the filter is because I normally find a cherry shrimp in there. To my surprise I found 2 quite small Cherry Shrimp in the filter. So I am guess someone has been a bit busy!!! :cigar...
