If I wanted to use ro water in my tropical tank, what would I have to add to it for my freshwater fish to be happy? I hear you need to add minerals to it or something?

R/O water is stripped of everything it has no ph no hardness no salts no minerals nothing. To use it in our aquariums we must add all the good things that water needs. Seachem Neutral Regulator adjust PH to neutral PH ( 7.0 ) from either a low or high ph and maintains it there.It also removes chlorine chloramine or ammonia. Kent R/O Right is a specifically formulated mixture of dissolved solids (also called general hardness or GH) that returns the natural water chemistry to reverse osmosis, distilled or de-ionized water for fresh water fish and plants. Provides a balanced electrolyte system which includes major salts, magnesium, calcium and potassium together with all necessary minor and trace minerals. Contains no phosphates or nitrates. If you are doing a planted aquarium, use Seachem's equilibrium. Ok I'm doing this post on a I pad and my finger is tired go to Drsfostersmith.com to do more research.

The real question is why do you want to start using RO?

 

[upinya]

My answer would be I want to control what is in my water. I don't want to rely on the city. We test our water for many things but we also don't test for a lot of things.
