2019年5月14日 · not surprised at the tds in my tanks. I was curious If the tds of 180 in the remineralized RO water (before being added to the tanks) indicated a soft water reading. As I thought a GH of 4 is considered soft. Or does tds not always correlate with water hardness? As the poster above stated, it probably doesn’t matter.

2016年4月18日 · It took a TDS of nearly 2K before they read "off" Ofc fertilizer, fluorite and buffer weren't all registering by those. Now I ignore kh and ph beyond my set points totally ignore kh and gh for water changes. Set it with buffer then just do changes according to tds ONLY This is how bad my tap water is. Ph 8.6-9, kh 10ppm, gh 225. TDS 300.

2020年12月6日 · Sodium and potassium do not show up in GH, but they affect TDS. Sulfates and chlorides do not show up in KH, but they affect TDS. Every aquarium will have a specific TDS range that is suitable based on your source water, added minerals and buffers, added fertilizers, stocking density, etc. My tanks run about 400 TDS.

2021年11月24日 · TDS is an arbitrary reading for a planted tank, it doesn't mean anything without context. For example, just dosing your fertilizer will make your TDS reading shoot up. You would probably want to have an idea of what your pH, KH, and GH are though as plants usually tend to do better in parameters that match closer to where they are found in the ...

2020年5月10日 · There's a lot of miss information on TDS with shrimp, a tds meter should only be used as a guide and nothing else, when they say between 100 & 300 they don't explain that within that reading your gh/kh ph falls, so with your tap water of 400 you now need to check the other readings to see if its safe for shrimp, the important ones are gh/kh, ph, its possible you may need to mix tap water with ...

2020年1月19日 · I re-scaped the tank, drip acclimated the fish with 100% RO water that was remineralized to a TDS of 175. Immediately, my PH was lower and all seemed well so I purchased 10 caridina shrimp. Immediately, my PH was lower …

2018年6月3日 · honestly I didn't research them too much, you're doing a lot more than I did. but they never had any problems the way I did it. tank water was definitely 78 because it was late summer/early fall. I suppose if they only lasted a month (still can't remember), then the higher temp could have shortened their lifespan by two months. i'd research the ...

2021年6月9日 · What’s concerning me is the large TDS difference between my two tanks and how quickly the TDS of my 10gallon shrimp tank changes. The TDS difference seems to affect my cherry shrimp as well. As far as I know, the tds of our tap water has not changed. My 36gal community tank has a TDS of 360-390, usually reading at 380. This number is constant.

2019年11月6日 · HI all, I am just trying to discover and understand topics like GH, KH and TDS trying to take my aquascaping hobby a level up. I generally have plants like Crypts, Bacopa, MonteCarlo, Rotala etc ,and generally have Tetras, Corydoras, Ottos, Amano Shrimps and Nerite Snails in my tank. All...

2019年1月19日 · hey all! So I recently was reading a comment on my previous thread stating that using a TDS meter is better than using the regular old test tube GH & KH test kits. I’ll be using Seachem Equilibrium in my freshwater tank and want the most accurate readings so that I don’t overdose the tank. With...
