How are you keeping up the ph when you are using an R/O?

chris........ i add water to my tanks 24/7....i hate to take chances so i use an inline mixer to add seachem prime
which removes both chlorine and chloramines....seems ok

Here's the deal. I have a 430g tank with a drip system that changes 35g's per day. I am currently running the water through a system of carbon filter and a chamber with a filter that is supposed to remove chloromines. I figure that all the chlorine and chlomines are being removed prior to my tank.

The question is this. Do you think it really matters? Given that it's less than 10% per day, and dripped in. Do you think that this ammount would actualy be harmfull? Thinking of just running the water through a few sediment filters and dumping the chloromine removal. These cartridges are getting kinda pricey, and would love to try to dump them. BTW this is all ran through a modified RO unit.

Thanks,
Chris

How does that work? Do you have a doser installed on a drip line?

i am using a water powered mixer by http://www.dosmatic.com

I run at about 50 gallons an hour for two large tanks.

But this type of system can be scaled for smaller or larger tanks.....

I think if i used a drip line I would patch mix the change water in a plastic tank and refill it when it was empty.
