Was there supposed to be a link?

Having listed this in the freshwater section is it safe to assume you have a freshwater tank? If you use RO/DI in freshwater tank you will need to treat your water to replace some of the minerals ect. that are removed by the filter.

I have a 50 gpd filter for my saltwater tank and it works just fine for my needs.

Sorry about that. This is freshwater. Is replacing minerals necessary if I have no plants? I just need very clean water, and a low ph.

I use ro and have done for over 2 years, as the water in Tenerife isn't fit to use for anything and I personally don't use anything with it, so please let us know if we should !

If your using RO to cut with your tap water to lower Ph/Kh/Gh then you do not need to add any minerals since your trying to lower those minerals in your tap water by using RO.

If your using 100% RO then yes you have to use a reconstituting product such as Seachem Equilibrium for planted tanks and Seachem Replenish for fish only tanks.

Alright cool! What's the difference between the too? Like could I use equilibrium if I don't have plants?

 

[Rivercats]

If you don't have plants then use the Replenish.

I only have moss, does that matter?

Not sure so I would use the Equilibrium just to be on the safe side. This also allows you to add other plants if you decide to do so.

Alright will do. What's the biggest size they sell 500ml?

 

[Rivercats]

You'll have to look online or email Seachem.

I found a big 4 liter container. Also order my unit should be here in a few days

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

These don't effect ph at all right? Or is there something I can add to keep it below 7.0?

 

[Rivercats]

They don't affect ph at night and you only use enough of the product to raise the Ph/Kh to the desired level you want.

What if I want it like 6.6ish?

 

[Rivercats]

You use it per directions to attain the levels you want in your tank. Read the directions and figure out how much it will take to make the ph level what you want it to be. It's not that complicated if you follow the product directions.

Alright I'm just making sure I don't need additional products
