so in the tanks the Ph is 8.1 Gh 4 Kh 4 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 2ppm or less
my only filtration is biochar and polyfill in one, and standard active carbon pad hang on filter in other. water chemistry is the same.
the water i use is hooked up to a single element (10 stage) filter that removes chlorine chloramine even arsnic and wierd metals. water tastes great, especially next to our super pool tasting tap water. it comes out that filter at 7.0
how the hell does that work? im going to be aging my water just so there is less of a fluctuation during water changes. from what ive read to even though messing around with the ph is necessary (it the stability we are after) i feel like since i have a huge 3 cubic ft. block of peat moss i just bought for an aquascaping project, i could benefit from having a bag of it in my water aging tank since my water isnt really all that hard or carbonate, just the mineral in it have a high buffering capability at low ppms.
this is what i gather from the situation anyways...
thoughts? thank you.:guitarist:
