Bongo Shrimp Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have two new 10g cycled and ready to go, one for pintos and one for red wines, both have SL-aquasoil for substrate. Right now the pH is about 6.0 in both tanks, the TDS is 40-42, and the GH is about 2.5. Do you have a recommendation for raising the TDS and the GH? I am using RO water. Thanks!

240ric Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 You need to remineralize your RO water with products like Salty Shrimp GH+ or SL Aqua Blue Wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your TDS should come up when you raise your GH.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo Shrimp Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks guys I'll grab some salty shrimp. I wasn't sure if the TDS would also come up with the GH buffer. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
