Hi,
I have recently bought an RO filter.
I want to use 100% RO water+mineraliser(Diskus Preis Mineralieren), because of unstable parameters.
How fast should I change the water?
I don't want to kill my fishes(15x otocinclus affinis/mariae, 11x Sakura red shrimps).
I thought about schema like this:
Thursday- 1,5g change
Sunday 1,5g change
Monday 3g change
Wednesday podmiana 3g change
Friday 6g change
Saturday 6g change

My tank is ~17gallon.

What do you think?
 
Personally I'd do it a bit slower - bogwood did it over 5 weeks rather than a week. Given you have two sensitive occupants there,I'd be in no rush and just do it gradually.
