How to dose RO water for planted tank
In this video I tried to make the information I explain easy to understand on this confusing concept. If you need measurements for a lesser or a greater amount of water all you need is some basic multiplication or division. Please don’t hesitate to leave any questions you have in the comments.
Interested in the under water world but could use some info before creating your very own Aquascape?

    My numbers are a bit lower than expected i got GH 5 KH 2 TDS 172. I boiled a small pot of rodi to help mix the powder then pour into 5gallon bucket and let it sit for about 24hours before testing if that makes a difference whatsoever. Not sure what im doing wrong.

    Question... couldnt you just use a mix of RO water with declhorinated tap water to re mineralize it? For instance, a 10 gallon tank would use 8 gal of RO water and the remaining 2 gal tap water?

    Cut some parchment paper to use as a weighing paper on the scale. Refold in half and then flatten to weigh. You can then fold and pour.

  • @filiplaskovski9993
    @filiplaskovski9993 7 місяців тому

    Tip for the equilibrium take a bit of the 5 gallon ro water and boil it, to that add the desired equilibrium and dissolve it!! Otherwise you’ll find little chunks of the powder at the bottom of the container that never really dissolve fully

    Great video, Question. If i pkan to inject c02 at 30ppm. Should i aim to lock PH at 7.8 So when C02 turns in while lights are on my PH will drop to 6.8. Reason stated if i lock ph to 6.8 or 7.0ph when c02 turns on if could drop ph too low into yellow in drop checker havibg fish gasp at the surface etc.

  • @DiggingRob
    @DiggingRob 8 місяців тому

    Great video…. It’s good practice to pay close attention to the KH as 3-5 is ideal….get it to low like 1-2 will cause PH Rollercoaster swings.

  • @DZ7IC22
    @DZ7IC22 8 місяців тому

    Using acid buffer and alkaline buffer at the same time is pretty funny. Seachem has you buying lots of unnecessary chemicals. Alkaline buffer increases both pH and kH. Guess what acid buffer does? Lowers both pH and kH 😂. Its easier and cheaper to just cut your tap water with RO water and figure out the best ratio than to keep buying that stuff.

    Good measurements but its unfortunately un-realistic for a large high energy planted tank... especially one where you are doing large water changes weekly to reset the nutrient levels. I wish my tap water was better quality

  • @jeffreyfleisher4624
    @jeffreyfleisher4624 Рік тому

    I have a moderately heavy planted tank. When your target ph is 6.8 to 7.0 I assume that is without any CO2 injection. For example, since I inject CO2 I would measure my ph level at night when there is no CO2 being injected into the aquarium. During the day, if my ph starts at 7.0 and I'm injecting 30ppm of CO2 then my ph will drop to 6.0, If I just have some community fish do I need to worry that the ph is dropping that low?

    • @ozhomerozmechwarrior4681
      @ozhomerozmechwarrior4681 Рік тому

      I use a Milwaukee pH controller with my CO2 system to keep my pH between 6.9 to 6.70. I'm thinking I just need to use Equilibrium and maybe don't need the buffers. I'm thinking about going with RODI as buying bottled water , even in bulk is expensive.

    • @Mikinct
      @Mikinct 8 місяців тому

      I guess one should aim to lock PH at 7.8 without any C02. Then once C02 is added at 30ppm when lights are on pH will drop to around 6.8-7.0 respectively.

    weird as the minute I started to use equilibrium I got algae growth in my ro container i mix in and my tank. started to not only have algae but small white particles floating around. I filled a mason jar and put some equilibrium in it to see what is actually in this stuff. you should look at all the crap that does not dissolve this stuff is garbage.
