gunner Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 What is the cheapest product to use to increase you aquarium General Hardness ( GH booster //// Cal/Mag booster ) etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Crushed oyster shell, just add to filters in media bags. Can be purchased dirt cheap at any local farm feed center. Make sure to rinse the b'jesus out of it before using. If you are located in Red Deer, Masterfeeds on 77st should have it, at least they did in the past. Not sure why you would want to increase your GH if you are on RD city water, but that is one of the cheapest options available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I live on a acreage about 45 min. south/west of Red Deer , so well water it is , my water is very soft ( Low GH ) but is very alkaline ( high KH ), So i am using 1/2 well water with 1/2 R/O water and was using Seachem equilibrium to bring the GH up. In looking for a cheaper ( GH booster ) i am trying 1/2 dose with equilibrium and then gypsum powder / absent salt at a 3:1 ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
