Super helpful, gonna start an apisto tank so this is great

My numbers are a bit lower than expected i got GH 5 KH 2 TDS 172. I boiled a small pot of rodi to help mix the powder then pour into 5gallon bucket and let it sit for about 24hours before testing if that makes a difference whatsoever. Not sure what im doing wrong.

Good video!

Can you use these products with distilled water? I have rock hard well water and no ro system.

How can I do a ph of 7.2 gah of 7 and oh of 4

Question... couldnt you just use a mix of RO water with declhorinated tap water to re mineralize it? For instance, a 10 gallon tank would use 8 gal of RO water and the remaining 2 gal tap water?

Really useful video. Simple and straightforward. Thank you! I can scale this up for my 80 litre barrel and always have water changes ready to go.

I wonder how many would take chain ganged together to h zero waste?

Cut some parchment paper to use as a weighing paper on the scale. Refold in half and then flatten to weigh. You can then fold and pour.

Is this for RO water or just RO DI?

Hey can I use aquaguard RO water which has Active Copper For My Aquarium will fishes thrive?

My TDS is 268, PH 7.6, GH 10 amd KH 5! I want to change to RO water but I'm not sure how or what to do.

I know this video is a little old but how would you increase just one kh or ph in 5 gallons thanks in for reading and thanks this info to begin with

Tip for the equilibrium take a bit of the 5 gallon ro water and boil it, to that add the desired equilibrium and dissolve it!! Otherwise you’ll find little chunks of the powder at the bottom of the container that never really dissolve fully

Nice video.. question I can only use my shower head.. would it come with an adapter for that?

WOW! Thanks man. You are the only one online that shows and help everyone on this. Great job!!!!! Cheers!

Great video, Question. If i pkan to inject c02 at 30ppm. Should i aim to lock PH at 7.8 So when C02 turns in while lights are on my PH will drop to 6.8. Reason stated if i lock ph to 6.8 or 7.0ph when c02 turns on if could drop ph too low into yellow in drop checker havibg fish gasp at the surface etc.

Great video…. It’s good practice to pay close attention to the KH as 3-5 is ideal….get it to low like 1-2 will cause PH Rollercoaster swings.

Using acid buffer and alkaline buffer at the same time is pretty funny. Seachem has you buying lots of unnecessary chemicals. Alkaline buffer increases both pH and kH. Guess what acid buffer does? Lowers both pH and kH 😂. Its easier and cheaper to just cut your tap water with RO water and figure out the best ratio than to keep buying that stuff.

Please do a video on remineralizing RO water ( barrel ) in the aging process for discus tank. Anything more than 4dKh stress the discus.

Put your lid on the scale then press tare button it will 0 it with Lid still on the scale

Pro tip there is a zero function so you can measure your powders into a vessel rather than on your weighing apparatus.😂

How often do you change out the filters?? And would I have to replace the Membrane as well

Help my tank is 6 L would i be fine just doing your steps step by step?

Di connection is backwards compared to the instructions. It goes from the capped end to your collection vessel.

Thank you for sharing! This is really helpful! (I use a digital spoon scale so I don't have to mess with lids, etc.)

Equilibrium is just KH? What about GH?

This video is exactly what I have been looking for for a while. Subbed. Keep posting content like this! How would you go about dosing this with a doser like a DOS Neptune? On water refreshes how do you adjust the dosage for the new RO water?

hello, so do you only add the remineralized rodi water to the amount you took out from the tank?

I'm new to RO water for my shrimp tank....I use Shrimp King Shrimp salt....should I use this, or use your mix? I'm still learning...I know your video is one year ago...hopefully you reply 🙃

Thanks so much for the video

Does this change if its only ro and not rodi?

I accidentally ran it with the deox cart still on while the membrane was on just for a few minutes is that a big deal?

Good measurements but its unfortunately un-realistic for a large high energy planted tank... especially one where you are doing large water changes weekly to reset the nutrient levels. I wish my tap water was better quality

I have a moderately heavy planted tank. When your target ph is 6.8 to 7.0 I assume that is without any CO2 injection. For example, since I inject CO2 I would measure my ph level at night when there is no CO2 being injected into the aquarium. During the day, if my ph starts at 7.0 and I'm injecting 30ppm of CO2 then my ph will drop to 6.0, If I just have some community fish do I need to worry that the ph is dropping that low?

Thank you for the clear instructions.

your chemistry needs some work. You’re literally fighting yourself.

weird as the minute I started to use equilibrium I got algae growth in my ro container i mix in and my tank. started to not only have algae but small white particles floating around. I filled a mason jar and put some equilibrium in it to see what is actually in this stuff. you should look at all the crap that does not dissolve this stuff is garbage.

Nice vijeo...

Hello. Can you drink with the reverse osmosis filter and without the deionizer filter? My city is having a problem with the salinity of the tap water. I would like to know if the version of this product without a deionizer works for me. Thank you.

Could I use the neutral regulator buffer instead of both alkaline and acid buffers? I’m going for a pH of 7 exactly

You can also use your aquarium airpump tubing for the tubes on this rodi unit =)

I just setup the same rodi unit, and my ph is coming out at around 7.4-7.8. Will this recipe still bring my ph to neutral?

Is the di filter supposed to be flushed as well?

will this cover the kh?

Made my installation so much easier! Thanks for the video

When water evaporates, do you top off with RODI water or that conditioned water?

would this affect my EI dosing?

Thank you so much. I have been searching high and low for an easy explanation and demonstration. I am filling a 32 gal. Brute container with 20 gallons, so I was able to work out the math on the quantities for this. Question: When trying to hit 6.8 Ph. if the quanties given don't quite get me there, can the Acid buffer be added a small bit at a time to hit this level? Thanks

thanks for the great video. I have super hard water. (off the scale hard). I do have an R/O system. I have been adding just a little well water to my R/O. It is still way too hard. This will be so much better. I ordered all the products already!
