Hmm...looking forward to watching this develop. I had seen a few threads regarding this on the other forum and found it very interesting. Seems like it would be easier to maintain and there are testaments to its benefit for plants.

My KH out of the tap is less than 2, and up until recently, I'd reconstitute to about 5. I stopped adding any carbonate buffer 3 weeks ago with my water changes and I've got the KH to about 2.5. I lower the pH at each water change so I can maintain the same CO2 levels. It's at 6.1 now.

It is too soon for me to tell what the benefits are going to be, but (not surprisingly) my Tonina seem to be enjoying it. I'll post any additional observations as they are observed.
