Hi
I am interested to get a 5 stage RO without DI filter (both for drinking and aquarium use) to use in my blood parrot aquarium.
I know BPs don't really need RO water, by my tap water is full of nitrates and phosphates.
So need an advice..
is it ok to use RO water and add a mineralizing filter to it? instead of having to add mineral supplements to the tank?
there is also a choice of alkaline filter which seems to do also the job of the mineralizing filter.
apparently these are the minerals output:
Technical Specifications:
Diameter: 53mm
Length: 254mm
Max. flow rate: 250 l/24h
Max. pressure: 6bar
Max. temperature: 51oC
Capacity: 3000 liters
Cations in filtered water:
Ca2+: 55mg/l
Mg2+: 18mg/l
Na+: 22mg/l
K+: 8.5mg/l
Anions in filtered water:
CO32-: 8mg/l
SO42-: 0.2mg/l
Cl-: 0.6mg/l
F-: 0.03mg/l
The question is are these enough ? too much? to little?
the specs of the filter says it would get you to a 7.4 PH as well
Ideally it would the situation where I don't have to mix with tap water or add anything else to the tank.
Thanks in advance
