Minanora Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 So I am about to fill a 2.6G aquarium with Contrasoil that I'll be using RO water in. Will the contrasoil raise the pH? My goal is to hit these parameters using Contrasoil, a small piece of spider wood, and Seachem Equilibrium. My RO water comes out at about 6.2pH. pH: 6.8ish GH: 8 KH: 12 Anyone have any advice for making this work? Similar experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hiting a 6.8 pH with a 12dKH is going to be difficult. What are your stocking plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 @Mmiller2001I'm not hard set on the hardness/KH. I think I can safely go down. Ideally, this chemistry would be for both my shrimp tank and a breeding tank for chili rasbora. Plants, anubius nana petite, rotala India, bulbitus Africa, Christmas moss. Maybe some others... I'm not checking spelling right now but I think I have names mostly right. Just want to do both the same so I can mix adult shrimp into the rasbora tank without much fuss and easier for water changes.
