Re: RO Water Additives?

[Scheele Juergen <juesche@earthlink.net>]

After lurking for a year, I take a bite on this one!

If your GH/KH is 0
and your PH is way in the yellow, meaning below 5
you can adjust the GH by adding
Epson Salt and Calcium Chloride (Kent Marin-Concentrated liquid Calcium)
to the desired level !
You then go ahead and adjust the KH
with Potassium Bicarbonate without effecting the GH

Make sure the KH is  70% to 80% of the GH
Definitely avoid GH = KH
or                        KH bigger then GH

or you just go to your LFS and buy Seachems "Equilibrium"

'hope this helps.

Prost !
