Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have the constant problem of high nitrates because of very very bad tap water high in nitrates more then 40ppm. The tap water here isn't safe to drink obviously. I have been cutting my tap water with 50 percent reverse osmosis water but my nitrates even in the water going in are high. I would be willing to use 100% reverse osmosis water if someone could just give me a straight answer on what I need to buy to treat it to make it safe for my fish since ro has no minerals. What do I add to treat straight ro water for use? I have aquarium salt but I until now have only used it to clean decorations of algae and clean my water change tools. I don't even know of you can use that to treat ro water. I've attached a picture of the ro water I use. My fish seems to be used to the high levels but I'd rather get it down. And plants are way to costly and the ones I have seem to not help anyways. Can anyone help? What do I buy to treat ro water for use?
