Anyone with tapwater ~ 9.0? If so, what nutes?

I've use Vitalink before and with good results but kinda tedious with the mixing.... I was making many n00bie mistakes too tho. Basicaly I was looking at Canna Aqua as it helps maintain the PH levels but after a bit of research I know it's not gonna be good to use with my water. I'm thinking about going with Ionic (looks nice n easy) or Advanced Nutes (pretty pricey).

What nutes do you get best results with or find easiest to use?

i use advanced - ph perfect, pricy but certainly working very well dont forget your ph down

Canna A + B no issue

My tap water is 30ppm and averages 6.8 to as high as 8.5 in the summer.I'm using Flora Nova it is PH stabilized and extremely easy to use.I up my tap waters Ph to 10ish, drop in the nutes and only haft to adjust the reservoir once a week.You don't even haft to change out the reservior you can top with water and addback nutrients to the orginal PPM.An entire cycle can be ran off of the original reservoir.Did I mention you only need one Bottle not 3 to 5.

curious if its ph perffect why the need for any ph solution. isnt his sales pitch that we dont need to ph it??

nope, i set my ph to 5.6, add the nutes and it stays bang on . Tou still need to ph it, it just wont affect your res once its set

no nutes do if the rez is the right size. they way he sells it i read it that it dosnet need ph at all. i set my rez and it never moves.

canna rhizotonic is a good example of a product that raises ph as you use it, i run a 60l res and it raises approx .2 ph per day, like every res! unless you have a 60 gallon tank or something

ya but we are talking about his no ph product. i use rihzo and it has no effect on ph or ec, none of those types of foods i use effect it

just was curious what hes trying to say by saying ph perfect...whast the perfect part. to that was no need to ph ever.

rhizotonic even says on the label "will slightly increase ph levels" . No nutes in the world stabalize ph, i wonder why there is no 5.6 ph buffer like you use in aquariums. i,ve got some ph 6.5 buffer solutiion for my aquarium at home

5.6 and 6.5 buffers???...we us up and down,. they dont have numbers on them???
that raises ph as it has foods in it also besides rihzo

Thanks for the feeback ppl. I know I will allways have to adjust the PH initially, but my problem has allways been keeping the PH around 5.8. Mine rises costantly in a non-recirculating system so I'm trying out a recirc dwc. I'm thinking I will try a ro if I'm still having difficulty. Does everyone stick to the same brand boosters and stuff?
