Hope you guys don't mind that my ?s are actually for freshwater, I was recommended to post here for the most help!
I've just moved to a different state, and unfortunately the water here is quite a bit different than in my previous location. It's quite hard and the pH is very high. I keep mostly bettas and a lot of wild species, who of course love their nice soft acidic water. In order to keep going with my breeding program I'm definitely going to have to do something about this water...
So, question is, what do I need? I've been looking at RO units online and have learned a bit about them, but am still unsure if I've found what will be best for my situation. I'm currently looking at the Kent Marine Hi-S RO unit - http/www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod...p;N=2004+113775 - on sale right now at F&S. Is this a good product? It looks to be quite thorough, though one of the slightly less expensive units.
If I get that unit, am I going to need to buy anything else? I don't think I'll need a pump, our water pressure is pretty good. And I'll be hooking it up to some indoor sink.
However, I do know I'll need to add some minerals back to into the water. Any recommendations for which ones, what kind, etc?
Thank you for any and all help.
