    Hi Bros

    Have just started a new 2ft tank, future occupants will be CRS.

    Tank set up with mosura old seamud as base, benibachi black soil, shizen and BT9

    Tank is undergoing cycling for 5th day with 2 pc of us fissiden on DW, have measured the water parameters

    PH - 6.1
    TDS - 72 (tap water measured 73)
    Ammonia - 0.5ppm
    Nitrite - 0ppm
    Nitrate - 10ppm
    GH - 4
    KH - 2
    Temp - 26.5 (will decrease when CRS are added)

    Have done research on past threads and are considering using mosura TDS up. Any seniors can advice when the TDS reach the desired level, do i need to remove the mosura TDS up from the tank??

    Or is there other better ways to safely up the TDS to 150-200 ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi all

    Just a little update, bought a pack of mosura TDS UP in the afternoon. Realise it actually dissolve in water.

    Poured 200ml of tank water into a glass container and added in a teaspoon of mosura TDS up, just measured the TDS reading and it reads 3010ppm.

    This is powerful stuff, will start to adjust tank TDS level by adding in 5ml step by step.

    Bro magpie and Bro xconnect thanks for the advice.
