i'm guessing you guys have had this question so much, but i need acurate info i cant find :|
current nitrate is roughly 40ppm (possibly a little more) and i know my main issue is the sailfin plec messing up the place, soon i will be getting a clown instead so my waste will drop.
my problem is, tapwater here is about 45ppm, very hard and very high ph, so PWC are useless to tackle trates.
i thought about using bottled drinking water, or RO water, but would i have to buffer the PH GH and KH massively to use it for a PWC without crashing my tank?
I dont like prime, did try it but since i cant see visible results, i'm not really fixing the problems.
any products or methods would be great, but what i really want to know is how i can use bottled water to battle it.
