TacomaToker Posted October 13, 2021 Report Posted October 13, 2021 You should look into whether you have an RO unit that puts minerals back into the water. Quote
nhager2006 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Posted December 9, 2021 Do you use any ferts? I would take a TDS reading of your water prior to remineralizing. I would start the process of elimination. I never really look at the TDS of the tank just when changing water. I may be different but I've never paid attention to the TDS of the tank as long as my GH and KH are on point. I personally never strive for my tank to be perfect. Ive never really been good at following the rules laid out by the internet police. I was told I could not use Co2 on a Taiwan Bee tank and not only have I done exactly that but my tank is thriving. My bees and all happy healthy and reproducing. Quote
