emaratilicious Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Just for sake of understanding my options. Most of CRS breeder using RO system to flat the water so they can start dosing and increasing pH, TDS, or GH to the desired level. How about decreasing pH using products like Seachem Acid Regulator or Mosura pH Down? Most of these solutions are using phosphoric acid and safe for aquatic use. Also, How about co2 option? dosing co2 with pH controller can prevent pH fluctuations and maintain a specific level. What do you think guys?

EricM Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) The reason RO water is used is that its the cleanest solution so adjusting GH/TDS. Measuring PH of RO is pointless because of the lack of KH. This is why we use a buffering substrate to provide stability to PH. The reason we dont use C02 is that baby shrimp can not tolerate C02, they need oxygen especially the first few weeks. edit: RO is also the cheaper than any of these other ideas.
