[Rift][Chemistry] Water treatment for Tanganyikans [Rift][Chemistry] Water treatment for Tanganyikans Need recipe for Rift Lake water. Tanganyikan water chemistry (long) In article <1993Feb16.175506.276-at-ultra.com> jimh-at-ultra.com (Jim Hurley) writes: >This weekend I started up two tanganyikan cichlid tanks and I was >wondering if people would post their experiences with >making suitable water. > >Another used this: > 20 gallon tap > 2 Tablespoon Epsom salts > 1 teaspoon Seachem Marine buffer > >I made a quick batch for my new fish from stuff I could pick up at our >local food store: Sea Salt for cooking (sea salt, magnesium carbonate); >No Salt (potassium chloride); Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate); and >calcium carbonate (I had this laying around). At the PCCA meeting last Saturday, our speaker cautioned against using Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). He claimed that the carbonate form of magnesium is far superior, as the sulfate form is likely to cause a condition "akin to acid rain". I'm not a chemist, and I sure don't want to take a chance of making my tanganyikan tank water acid, so I'll heed his advice.
