Use good quality Peatmoss in your filter...it will helpful...or else buy 20L RO water jar, hopefully Rs. 30/- per jar and add 50% with your tap water!

Will post a pic soon!!!

1) Within a week I am trying to store water for 24-48 hour
2) Will use ph reducer if suggested.
3) Peatmoss(coco peat???) also can be used, but want to know the process how to use that in the filter??? I have a small HOB as a filter. Or if I store water for 24-48 hour and treat that stored water with cocopeat, then pour in the tank
4) Water jar is Rs45 in my area.

i think there is a difference between peat moss and coco peat...i don't think coco peat has the ability to decrease pH and kH...but am not sure

has anyone experience with this?

I also not sure about indepth information but these two links may give you some idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphagnum and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_peat

Reference from second link " It(cocopeat) has a similar cation exchange capacity to sphagnum peat, holds water well, re-wets well from dry and holds around 1000 times more air than soil."


pH, kH I have to test, dont have kit with me!!!
