Hi all.
Setting up a new tank for some crystal shrimp, I have used lava rock for the scape and tetra soil for the substrate (the tetra stuff is just a hard clay), Pure RO/DI to fill it and daily 100% water changes and I am still seeing a large rise in TDS and GH.
TDS went from 0 to 300+ and GH 0 to 12. Any idea what might be causing this? I chose the hardscape etc as it is inert and not supposed to affect parameters.
TIA
