    Default Reconstituting RO Water for Breeding

    What do people use to reconstitute RO for breeding? What PPM/Degrees Hardness do you shoot for?

    I cheat
    I add 25% tap water and our tap water is as hard a cement.
    It works for me

    HI,
    I am mixing RO + tap water to get 100ms. Hasn't worked yet for me, but I think it will. ;D

    Joe at Enchanted Discus has an excellent article here

    Hi you need a conductivity meter. And shoot for 80 to 120 ms I do this by adding about 8 gallons of tap water to 42 gallons of RO water gives me around 80 ms Jim & Diane

    Can't use tap due to chloramines.
    I use RO Vital, pH crashes at about 80ms so I'm gradually raising conductivity to see where I can kinda even out.
