Anyone use this to use with their RO water? Im experimenting with growing out juvie discus with remineralized RO water and was going to use salty shrimp to establish the Kh and gh. I also add discus trace as well. I have grown out discus with RO/well water mix and have had mixed results so wanted to try out using all RO water remineralized. I aim for a 150-200 tds, and have a ph around 7.9 with a Kh of 4 and gh of 6. I now have quite the setup in my fish room as I recently installed a whole house UV filter, have two whole house pre filters that supplies the whole home and then have another three stage sediment filter that I setup from my sink right before the RO unit. I age my water for 24-48 hours. I have a holding tank of 150 gallons and can get 200 gallons of RO water per day thanks to my booster pump. I am on well water that can get who knows what in it at times with their being farms around me so this is why I have so many filters, have the uv filter and do RO water. Our well water is actually really good but even when I mix it with my RO water I get pretty crazy algae problems even in my unplanted growout tanks. I also raise wild altums and wild Santa Isabel angels so this is another reason I stick with RO water.
I was basically wondering if anyone used the salty shrimp Kh gh for their RO water for their breeding tanks or if anyone uses it even for their growout tanks who have not the greatest tap water. Thanks for any help
