    Guys, do you add anti chlorine into your distilled water before use?

    Is it lowering PH will bring down GH levels as well?

    If above is true, putting ketapang leaves in the shrimp tank will lower PH and GH as well right?

    Hi,
    KH GH and PH are 3 separate things.
    maybe you would want to check google for more information.

    after reading above link seems like lowering GH/KH will affect PH and vice versa.

    takeaway is GH and KH changes how difficult or how easy your PH sways.

    It will still be good even after the expiry date. Since it is used for fish tank WC, it should be fine.
    Definitely worth buying $100 worth with the free delivery. Shrimp keepers will be delighted. This is a chance not to be missed.

    According to DsCheng, if he is correct, $100 worth will buy about 360 litres.
    That's a lot of valuable distilled water for a shrimp keeper.
    The savings on Prime will be an added factor for consideration too.

    Re: Top up with distilled water or aged water?

    12 x 1.5 litre = 18 litres of distilled water for $4.90... which means buying 21 cartons (to get above $100 for free delivery) works out to 378 litres.

    I guess if a typical 20% water change for a 2ft/64 litre tank is around 12 litres, therefore using 8 x 1.5 litre bottles would cost around $3.20+ per weekly water change.

    Just need space to store and stack up all those cartons of bottled water, at least you will be prepared and can stay hydrated during emergency/zombie apocalypse too.

    Re: Top up with distilled water or aged water?

    I am using bottled distilled water and am looking for alternative.

    It is actually not environmental friendly as in i have been disposing those emptied bottles away.

    It sounds funny if i get the bulk water just for shrimp tank water top up.

    Still searching for alternatives than using bottled water.
    from 14L to 8L tank.
