For the initial spawn, I used straight tap water. The TDS reached 520ppm because I stopped doing water changes (dry season) and partial laziness. Then I did a large water change with tap water to bring it down to 330ppm, they only spawned after I added a pinch of GH booster, which is what I did the second time.n00dl3 wrote:Raul congrats on your 2nd spawn. Good luck with them.
Just a question, How do you drop TDS in a tank and what is a good test kit?
Test kit for TDS? There are none, I have a meter that I got off of eBay for $25; it has automatic temp. compensation and is only 2% off.
As for my GH, I use a LaMotte test kit (top of the line) and KH I use Salifert (just below LaMotte in accuracy). pH is measured with a handheld meter with an accuracy of 0.01+/-.
While were on the subject, this is what I found lying on the subtrate when I got back from school-
