So I got my ph down to 6.4 gh5 kh5 so far all is good I've had to use acid regulator to lower ph because RO wasn't enough at 10:1 tap water. So I use enough acid regulator and neutral regulator to stabilize the ph at a low 6.4 only down fall is my TDS readings are high now along with my phosphates that have doubled no algae prob or nothing yet ;) nock on wood doing daily water changes
