Hi everyone I’m new here and new to keeping and breeding wild strain apistos and a few other blackwater fish from down that way. I am currently getting into some wild Apistogramma, altum angels and wild Heckel discus. These are projects I’ve been dreaming of for many years.
I’ve been searching here and elsewhere and can’t find consistently recommended test kits for these parameters, especially when working with low numbers. I’ve tried not to even think about my pH as I fully understand the chemistry of very soft water and it’s dynamic consequences regarding pH. I’d love to shoot for 4-5ish but trying to look the other way LOL
My TDS readings are in the high 40s, I do RO water changes weekly to keep it there. I don’t have an exact microsiemens measurement, only TDS and I’d like to use my GH and KH readings as a general guide.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
