alder cones for crs

get some ro water from somewhere or invest and get ro filter... you wont think twice after you get one....my lfs sells 5 gal of ro if i need in pinch couple bucks... i dont even touch tap water any more.. at least mine too much work too it...
 
i never did much have luck with cherries. so the gh/kh is more important that the ph? everything i know about water chemistry says that my water makes no sense. with kh that low there should be almost no buffering capacity and the ph should be neutral or less and the tiniest bit of anything should change the ph a lot, but, even a double dose of neutral regulator only gets me down to 7.5
 
yea, hardness is more important than pH. you should try sulawesi shrimp...your water is perfect and there are not many people that can say that
