Hi,
I am planning on making a 20 Gallon (UNS 60U) heavily Planted Tank with medium to high light using RO water only. This is my first real planted tank so I have a lot of questions. I will be using CO2, paintball canister with an atomizer and the first thing I’m worried about is getting the GH, KH and PH balanced so there are no harmful swings from C02. The second is balancing the same parameters for a Betta, Nerite Snail and possibly a shrimp or two. Does anyone know the dosage of Equilibrium and the two buffers needed to get an established balance between hard enough for a snail and soft enough for a Betta while maintaining KH for C02 swings with around a 7.4 PH? This will be RO water and from water I know TDS is more or less an estimate, and I do not have a meter to test it (yet). I won’t be setting up for a few weeks but I’m looking to get everything in order so if I’m missing anything please let me know and thank you in advance!
