Recently bought an RO/DI unit because the nitrate in the tap water is above 40ppm (bad for fish) and the GH is 190+ (bad for turtle). Thankfully, the filter seems to be taking all the bad stuff out. However, making the RO/DI water fish and turtle friendly is proving to be a pain in the :butt:! I'm raising the GH with Seachem R/O Right and that seems to be okay, but not sure what to do about the KH. Some sites suggest baking soda saying that calcium carbonate does no good, and other suggest using calcium carbonate because baking soda can quickly screw up the water.
So, what are other people using and in what amounts?
BTW, a very wise forum member had already cautioned me about all of this and I though I had no doubts about that member being right, didn't know what else to do. Still, it kinda stinks when the things you know will happen actually happen
Thanks!
