I have a planted 135l planted tank. I have a canister filter.
My plan is to slowly replace my water with rodi water. The rodi water has a ph of 6.
I want to use coral chips to slowly increase the ph, gh and kh. I'm aiming for a ph of around 6.8 - 7. At the moment with my tank water I have a ph of 7.6 and kh of 2. Ive added 30litres of rodi water already.
I get my gh test kit in a day or so. Ill post that as soon as i test that. I have some seachem equilibrium but as i understand it coral chips does the same thing.
So my question is how do i slowly replace all my water with rodi water and maintain the minerals and ph because the ph probably wont drop enough for me to use the chips until most of the water has been replaced?
