Hello there farmers.I did a thread yesterday about vinegar for ph down,to which i got some crackin answers,thanks due to those that helped me out.Among the advice was that for organics vinegar and lemon juice are fine,but for hydro i would need more ph down.
Thing is though i order online for supplies and i'm not gonna do it just for ph down so i thought i would check out a new large pet shop that had opened[i avoid the growshops for obvious reasons!].They had a great selection of stuff for fish tanks including the ph down and two other bottles which piqued my interest.
The first was called "stress coat" and it was for making tap water safe for fish by getting rid or reducing the chlorine,chloramines,ammonia and heavy metals.The second was called "stress zyme" and was a live bacterial product to enhance the development of the biological cycle in the water.Both products are used at a ratio of 1:8[5ml/38ltr].
Oh and there were some oxygenating tablets that i got for the feed water,and maybe the nft.
These were about 1.99 for 20[i tab in 1 gallon]and the other two were 30ml bottles for 1.25 each.Not cheap but convenient!The ph down was the same price as in the grow shop,but only half the amount.All in all though i'm quite hopefull/excited at these and just wondered what other peoples views were,i'm assuming that if they are good for aquariums/fish that they will be fine for our girls n boys.Any thoughts most welcome,thanks.
