what kind of chemicals should i be looking for......

 

[DRZL]

dont use that proper pH crap its useless....use baking soda (washing soda may be better but its a little bit more tricky to find or dose) as it has a pH of 12, add it in small increments (like dripping kalk)

heres a calculator to know how much to add and its effect its mostly for ca/alk but youll see its effect on pH

In waste water treatment plant-Duckweed is used

Chris, hope you are doing doing good.

For fresh water tank, I battle algae bloom with duckweed just like water treatment plants. It take away alot of the sulfate and compete with the aglae for nutrients. But anyone knows if there is a salt water version of the same plant?
