    I've kept Stendkers in 100% R/O with no additives for 5 straight years. They do fine.
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    “ The water chemistry data in our hatchery is: general hardness: GH 15, carbonate hardness KH 8, pH value 7, conductivity 800 μs, water temperature 29° – 30° C / 84-86°F.
    For our discus fish, the key water parameters have the following tolerances: GH 0 – 30, KH 0 – 25, pH value 4.0 – 8.3, electrical conductivity 150 – 1200 μs. Tolerance for short-term water temperature changes: 25° – 34 ° C / 77 - 93°F.”
