I am starting to adjust my aquarium GH and KH in an established 150 gallon so that I can have softer water fish. Current GH is 18, KH 7, PPM 580. I have decided to mix 1/3 RO water with tap to be GH 12 and KH 5. I currently have 4 angels, 16 black neon tetras, and 2 Peacock eels in 150 gallon tall aquarium.
How quickly can I add my 1/3 RO to Tap water mixture into aquarium? I understand that this needs to be done very slowly to avoid osmotic shock. I am wondering how fast to introduce RO water into the tank. I want to avoid any chance of fish deaths. Any experience in changing GH and KH and how fast to do it (days, weeks, how much to add etc.) Thank you in advance for any thoughts and input!
