Hello All,
I would like to keep some CRS. I have had a few in the past and they did not do well in my water. I was told that if I use ADA Amazonia II, half RO water and half tap water that I would then have the ideal environment for CRS.
The cost of buying it and then the shipping is more than I can afford

. Does anyone know if there is a product that is compatible but less expensive? I can obtain most of the popular substraights locally which would save a bunch on shipping.
Water Parameters
GH- 7
KH- 3
PH- 7.4 out of tap
