Just Toby;4091335; said:I agree that cut with something else would be perfectly fine but that is not what "straight" RO suggests (if he meant cut with other then should have been clear on such an important point, surely?)
I actualy believe in KISS and would not alter the PH no matter what as adjusting the PH is too problematic at water change time. I was just curious that such an big isssue was not picked up and discussed as it made me wonder if I was missing something.
My new set up will have auto timed bi daily small water changes as I am plumbed to waste and fresh water and then larger changes at the weekend. My sump will auto top up with treated water and I am lucky that my tap water is below 5 ppm Nitrate when measured on the most expensive Nitrate test kits my lfs supplies /recommended. Basic tablet kits read 0
I will also run a nitra ghost and ion exchange resin in the sump as I strongly believe that Nitrate is a bigger issue and killer than the hobby lets on and I want 20 ppm or less as my target.
Thanks for the reply and sorry to take the thread off topic.
it all depends on what your local water is at. just call them and find out. I use straight RO not half tap half ro and have no problems. I use it for breeding angels, for the dats and for the rays and no problems....
ANYHOW....MORE PICS PLS as this thread is all about pics.
