| pH measuring with start up ebb/flow |
|
| I have 2 small units that I've just started. One is an ebb/flow and the other is a bottom feeder. I have city water (not a well), and was wondering the necessity for pH measuring. I've been reading some books on getting started and they indicated how important it is. But is it really? As a beginner can't I just put my 3 gallons of h20 and X plant food in, run it for two weeks and then replace it? Why should I bother with pH measurement in the first place? |

| PH is very important. Most water is fairly close to seven (nuetral)but if it's not it can really be detrimental to your plants. Tomatoes, for instance, would probably die if grown in a ph of more than seven.Where as some plants like a high ph. Once you've established the ph of your water you should be O'K. |
