Remineralizer On Ro/di

I have an ro/dI unit that I already use for saltwater, and I have my reasons for not wanting to use tapwater.

I'm trying to decide the best remineralizer (or at least narrow down my options) for a planned tank:

Fluval spec v with stock pump and light, sand and gravel for substrate, a few (4-ish) different low-light plants, some driftwood and almond leaves, housing a betta plus a snail or two. Maybe considering some shrimp after a few months.

I've found Seachem's equilibrium but understand I would likely also need the Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer.

I then saw Brightwell NeoTiger gh/kh+. Though it's more specifically for shrimp, the description makes it sound like it would be good for plants and fish as well. It's more affordable and just one item that I would need to add.

I'm sure there are differing opinions on this, but I'm hoping for some input from those more experienced than I am!!

 

I don't know the answer but want to watch this thread so we can both learn.

 

I use salty shrimp personally as I have a lot of invertebrates.

Which one? I see there are a couple that Salty Shrimp makes. Do you have to add anything additional to your water? What kind of set up do you have?

 

Just plain old “Salty Shrimp.” There is also “Bee Shrimp” and “SulawesI Shrimp 7.5 or 8.5”

The plain stuff doesn’t change the pH of my water.

I do sometimes add Thrive fertilizer for the plants. I have subwassertang in there with my yellow cherries.

Perfect! It's a little on the expensive side, but nice to only need one thing. I think I'll give it a try!
