Hi All,
So I’m about to rescape one of my tank that housed CRS that currently has a GH 8/9, KH0 and PH around 6.5.
Now, I know we have had many conversations on using active substrates with tap, so,I’m going to give it a go this time so, what sort of GH/KH should I aim for using my liquid rock:-
PH 7.5
GH 18
KH 9
I am going to do 50 TAP/50 RODI (0 TDS) water, which i assume will halve the above figures to:-
GH 9
KH5
PH7.5
Should I look to reduce the KH more, or let the ION exchange in the substrate do that? What would I expect the PH to be one settled?
I am tempted to buy a smaller bag of Tropica Soil to test out in a vase to see for myself, but am looking at the group experts for a pointer
Thanks,
Chris
