New Softwater Cardinal Tank
Hi Everyone,
I currently have a Juwel Lido 120, which i have converted to a mini Reef. I removed the Internal filter and added a deltec skimmer and an ehiem ecco canister. My coral is doing well, however suffered two white spot attacks which wiped out my fish. I was the cause, ( Adding a Regal Tang, Tank too small right?) Anyways, after many losses, i am going to start again with a softwater amazon planted tank. Im pretty much going to fill it with Cardinal Tetra. My Tap Water has a high PH so i was going to dilute it with RO. Any tips or advice for this set-up is more than welcome! I'll look forward to your replys. |

Welcome to the site!
I would post your questions in the FW sections, as a lot of the gurus don't check this thread.

Welcome to AA! It is better to have stable ph rather than trying to change it. What is your actual ph reading?
