Conductivity

[marine001]

Hi all, I have question for some experience person regarding conductivity, How I can lower or Increase any conductivity, can some explain to me this please, thank you so much

Ummm. What's do you mean by conductivity? What conductivity are you trying to test out?

well in the Aquarium water, Conductivity (Microns) as some of the tropical fish required say 100 microns , and if the water has more microns the will not breed at all, so if my water have say 150 microns, my question is how I can lower the microns , do I need to use some chemicals for that, or there is another way to do it

Wow..... This stuff too chim for me.... I suppose if you change your water hardness it will affect conductivity. Just leave your fish to your own device of you keep the water fresh by doing default eater changes then they should breed by themselves... No need to intervene.

The Internet is the best place to find such information. Google the wide Web intently and it can yield the most satisfying answers to your question or pursuit. By such means, great insights can this be obtained.

Usually for purposes of aquarium keeping, its more common for us to use the measurement of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) which is in ppm... it can be converted from conductivity in uS/cm.

Conductivity to TDS calculator: http://www.chemiasoft.com/chemd/TDS

You can read about how TDS/conductivity affects different types of fishes, the effects and how to manage it in this guide: http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/m...7/#post1340045

You can get a TDS pen to do the measurements from most LFS.

Hope that helps!

Shouldnt it be good idea to have big algea scruber to fight this tds growing every day? How fast algea could eat up nitrates?
