    How are you using R\O water?

    If you are using R\O only... What mineral replacement supplement are you adding?

    Any DIY mix that is working?

    @ROEKSTE: Not using RO water, if you don't have fish like high end wild discus or fish that specifically require it then it is a bit of a waste to be honest.

    Ah okay I think @slagter uses RO water, I have tried using it before and did not find much of a difference in my fish or plants health.

    75% RO and 25% filtered tap water and every now and then add Seachem Discus Trace.
