digital-monk Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Sorry I hope this is not "off topic", but I noticed that no - one adds salt to their water...I've been adding salt, epsom salt and baking soda as per this link:http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/buffer_recipe.php Am I wasting my time? Our water is already well suited for africans(hard water with a higher ph). So there isn't really a need to buffer our water with baking soda and salts. IF you are on a well, or for some reason using RO or bottled water, then you might have to add buffers and salt. I keep africans and have never added anything extra to our water. Thanks! that'll save me some time for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimax Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I used AquaPlus for years and recently switched to using Prime. Haven't noticed a difference between the two as of yet but am pleased to see the positive response for Prime. I also use a python and add the prime when the water first starts filling the tank. Seems to work just fine in my tanganyikan tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algae farmer Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Carbon cartridge for main incoming water from city. I use a very low flow when filling my barrels for make-up water. For extra insurance, one could place two in series just to be on the safe side. take care PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
