I am currently cycling a 100 gallon tank. I am thinking on buying discus from stendker discus in Germany. I am told that these fish are kept in water with ph 7 gh 15 kh 8.
I have two sources of water at home. Tap and RO.
My tap water parameters are:
Ph 8.4
Gh 16
Kh 7
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 80
TDS 1000
My RO parameters are:
Ph 6.8
Gh 0
Kh 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
TDS 55
Given the high ph, very high nitrates and TDS in my tap water i think i should go with 100% RO water however i need the GH and KH at 15 and 8.
Are there any good supplements out there that can do the job?
Your help is truly appreciated.
