its been raining a few days, free H20! but is it good for my reef? have all the pollutants in the air been washed away? can I make it good for my reef?
so I collected some in cooking pots, took measurements
temp 54'F
pH ~ 5.2 (not accurate as I dont have a good low pH kit)
SG ~ 1.01 (zeroed against my RODI)
TDS ~0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
ammonia 0
calcium 0
alk 0
phos 0
mg 0
so I drank some and Im still alive. its clear bacause I did NOT collect it from my roof (rainwater collection system), straight into my cooking pot. its acidic prob because of the CO2 & smog in the air. can I just buffer it and use it for ATO &/or salt mix?
