 | Lowering pH using RO water |
ImRandy85    Enthusiast Bleeding Blue Posts: 254 Kudos: 137 Votes: 75 Registered: 19-Dec-2006   | I'm trying to breed my cories in a 10 gallon tank. I'm fairly sure that my high pH of about 8.2-8.4 is not going to allow this to happen so I want to go buy some RO water to attempt to lower the pH. So my question is how much RO water can I add to the tank without lowering the pH to the point that its harmful for the cories? and how much of a pH change would be bad for them? |

When doing water changes, just keep this method & monitor the ph of your water. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
