Anton, for freshwater I might suggest looking for products that are meant to reconstitute RO/DI water. Kent Marine offers R/O Right, Seachem offers Equilibrium. Or you can look at additives designed specifically for the water chemistry you're trying to emulate. E.g. our water here comes out of the tap with a TDS of 43. VERY soft, and with a temporary, artificially high pH that quickly dissipates. I use various additives (salts and buffers) in the aquariums that house African Rift Lake cichlids...without them, they just don't seem to fare as well (which is entirely understandable).Felicia McCaulley says:
Thanks, Tal! We appreciate your input! My freezer is pretty tiny, but at least I can freeze RO in my ice cube trays and use them for my nano tank. Great idea!Anton says:
No not possible lol. Was worried I wouldn't get notice of the replyAnton says:
Think i may have left out my email addy in my message.Anton says:
Hi is it ok to use trace elements meant for reef aquariums in fresh water tanks? I know trace elements vary in bodies of water depending on a lot of things but are trace elements between fresh water and sea water very different generaly? I keep fresh water fish that like mineral rich hard water, our rainfall is exceptionaly high so I wish to add trace elements. Only I cant get them for fresh water only salt water tanks. Seems calcium is the highest concentration in these liquid trace elements. I guess oceans are much higher generaly in calcium than fresh water but for the rest Im not sure. Would they be safe to use for fresh water tanks?VIDEO Inside Look: AMAZONAS Magazine "FOSSIL FISHES" says:
