Buffering RO/DI Water - Water Changes

[themangia1984]

When I am performing my waterchanges should I add buffers along with the salt mix to the RO/DI water before adding to the tank. Or is the saltmix and RO/DI water good enough?

Thanks

The salt mix is all you would need. It contains all that you would need to make up your saltwater mix.

It really depends on what you want out of the final product. At times I will add a buffer to either keep a higher stability than the salt mix allows for or increase a parameter such as pH, Ca, or Alk. Make sure your calculations are accurate through testing if you decide to use supplementation.
