I would not mess with the
ph unless your doing it with
CO2 injection.. It depends on what your target
CO2 level is, as to what
KH you need to buffer to, and what
PH you need to stop injecting
CO2 at.. How much light do you have and how big is the tank?
DI resins lower carbonate hardness as well.. they make water softening pillows out of the stuff for what I would call ballpark lowering of the
KH. I know this is not the best way of doing it but I thought I would say it before someone else did.. using distilled and
ro water you can be alot more accurate with lowering the
KH..in my opinion
there is a good chance that the
KH will have to be raised rather than lowered though if it needs changed at all..
