Default TDS level for my 2ft tank

Hi guys, just bought a tds meter and happy use it to test my tds level. Its around 106. I google around and find tht crs prefer 150 to 200. Can i increase up to 150 by using mosura mineral plus alone?

My ph is around 6.7 now. Or its there other way to up the TDS

Adding mineral plus will increase your gh, what is your gh now? Possible, give us your water parameter readings.

Should be able to, but you need to do it progressively.

Darn, mine Kh and gh test kit expired already..Just used it and its not working at all.. Just to share with guys here. Just nw afternoon went to seaview to buy Api nitrate and nitrite test kit to test my water... Went home already then realise its going to expire soon. Both kit bottle show manufactured in 2009

So not sure whether the test kit results are correct a not....

Guys, my tds is around 110.. So if i want to increase to 150, guess i have to add a lot of mosura mineral plus.. Any idea how can i increase my GH? coral chip? But i worry my ph will go up also

Don't put coral chip, it will cause a drastic change to your pH.
