Mosura PH Down

[lizam]

So I am trying Mosura PH Down because I'm trying to get the correct parameters for OEBT.  I got GH 7 and kh 4 with a PH of 7.3.  TDS is about 135.  I believe this is good.  I am wondering if Mosura PH Down will keep the parameters stable?  It's amazingly powerful stuff   I have been running the tank for about  3 weeks with cycled media but I didn't have everything I need to get the water chemistry right until a couple of days ago.  I'm new to shrimp and trying to get it right.  Any help is appreciated.  

Thanks

Your water params look good for keeping OEBT. Is that your params out of the tap or is that after using the product?

With a 4 dKH, your water is plenty stable, so I don't think pH down is necessary.

Note water temperature to keep them at.

I'm using RO water with salt shrimp gh/kh. Then I used mosura ph down because after remineralizing the water my ph was at about 7.9/8. Too high. I wish that was my tap water?

I add Salty Shrimp GH+ to adjust the GH to 6. Which is about 1 1/2 scoop for 5 gallon of RO water. The ph is around 6.5.

I then add a tiny bit of Salty Shrimp KH+ to adjust the ph to 7.

My OEBT are doing well in this water parameter.

Hi Liza,

basically the higher you set the KH, the higher your PH is.  I do the same as fishlover but i add a bit more KH.

target is GH 6-7, KH ~1

1) add Bee Shrimp GH+ to get GH to 4
2) add Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ to get KH to 1 (which also add around 2 GH as it is a 2:1 GH/KH ratio)
