Rodi water

[Htomassini]

Hello, I wanted to get your advice on reconstituting Rodi water. I use seachem alkaline and acid buffer at a fixed ratio to achieve a ph of 7 and dkh of 4. I add Tom gh booster and discus trace. Any other way to do this?


Thanks

Hi,

Certainly many ways.

What do you want to do?

Hi,

Not sure why I dropped it and did not answer the question…

The first and easiest way to begin reconstituting water is simply aerating, mixing in air by stirring/mixing.

If you are using RO/DI to cut alkalinity or hardness then simply mixing in the tap water along with any amendments you would use is sufficient.

As long as you are mixing, you may as well add some GH booster and adjust the alkalinity as well as dosing any fertilizers as you normally would.

In my temperamental tanks where I use de-ionized exclusively, I try to match water parameters as above the mix in some of the remaining tank water prior to returning the water.
