Hi all,
I'm new to the R.O Water idea so please forgove me if these questions have been asked before.
I brought an R.O unit to fill up my Rio 180in which I would like to keep and breed Dutch Rams. I want to get a PH of around 6.5 - 6.7 with GH of 5 and a KH of atleast 4. R.O water and Tap stats are:
Tap Water
PH = 7.5
GH = 18
KH = 13
R.O Water
PH = <5.5 (My test kit doesn't go any lower)
GH = 1
KH = 1
R.O Water after 24hrs in a tropiquarium to aireate the water
PH = 7.0
GH = 1
KH = 1
Ideally i don't want to add tap water to the R.O water so can anyone recommend some products that i can add or some advice so i can acheive the water chemistry i am after. I currently have a bottle or API Electro-right which a friend gave me if this helps!!!
I also run CO2 via a JBL Profi 2 with solenoid in the tank so do i have to worry about the PH dropping?
Any advice would be great!!!
Many thanks in advance.
