Hi guys, I am looking to increase the GH/KH in my low tech heavily planted tanks. What is the best way to accomplish this without causing any issues with my plants or wildlife? I have a bottle of Seachem Equilibrium I bought a while back for the GH but, my real problem is the KH. I want to add a shrimp colony to one of the tanks with Fluval Stratum as a substrate and its KH is near non-existent. I hear a lot of people just use Salty Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ and like it but, it's a bit hard to find here and expensive. Others seam to use Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Chloride, Calcium Magnesium Chloride, or Dolomite. All of which are much easier to get a cheaper.
So, can you guys please suggest the best way to increase my GH and especially my KH? Thanks👍.
