Hi everyone!
As the topic suggests, I just picked up a RO unit and I am trying to figure out what I need for remineralizing my planted tank with Harlequin Rasbora and Amanos/Cherry Shrimp.
The tank is 30 gal, heavily planted, I am injecting a lot of CO2 (3-4 bubbles a second, drop checker is light green/almost yellow) and doing daily PPS PRO with K2SO4, KNO3, KH2PO4, MgSO4 and CSM+B (some days also Seachem Excel). I have some GH Booster which I am not currently using. I am doing 50% weekly water changes on this tank.
The question is, considering I am fertilizing daily, which minerals am I missing? When I do my next RO water change, what should I add to the water for remineralizing? Is GH Booser enough or should I add something for boosting the KH as well? (My PH is pretty low I am assuming from the driftwood and CO2, it's off the API Master chart, light yellow, I am assuming under 6)
Appreciate any advice, I am new to this topic.
