    Water Quality RO Wp"fyer

    Advice re RO or water purifyer, I normally stick to just good water changes- Can anyone advise benefits of either.
    Currently age water 24 hrs aerated adjust PH to breeders and do 20-30% every 3 days 7 tanks, numerous soawns to wrigglers but numbers diminish day 1 wrigglers to day 3.
    Tried leaving sponges alone (slight rinse in same aq water) weekly, run cannisters on 2 breeding tanks don't know if this is very beneficial.
    PH 6.5 or lower, temp 82-84, no ammonia and need to get of my behind and buy test for nitrates, is there an easier test for nitrates?eg electronic?.
    Only use aquasafe to aged tap water.

    Thanks in advance-Colin M
    Apologies in advance if slow return/chat, business keeps me on the move.
    Will respond ASAP-Col.

    Colin, do you know what the hardness of your water is?

    Total Disolved Solids?

    How can you be on the road and still typing on your computer. Now this I gotta see.

    Mail in this instance means Private Messages, so you can collect when accessible to this site.

    Not your email.
