  4. @817ricky82 true, and I said you can buy a meter in the vid. Also that I
    don’t like them because they are not as reliable, that’s just personal
    preference though 🙂

  5. @scott98390 Thanks for the tip. I dont have pH issues in that tank, but I
    do in another with nutes in it… I wonder if it would be ok to add that to
    a reservoir with store bought nutes? I would stop adding my calcium
    supplement ofcourse…

  6. A few clean eggshells (microwaved for a couple of minutes to kill any
    nasties) in a mesh bag somewhere in your system will help to control Ph and
    add calcium for your plants.

  7. use seashells to balance out the ph (just wash them out first)

  10. because the ph is low just add a couple of handfulls of shell grit and that
    should stablize the ph
