RO/DI nutrient replacement

[mark freshwater]

Hi,
I have just switched to RO/DI water and was wondering if there is any beneficial nutrients etc , that are lost due to this process, and if i have to replace them, and if so with what ?
Thanks
Mark

Possibly. They are, in theory, all replaced by our salt mix.

That make sence , just wanted to check there wasnt anything in tap water that was benifical.
Also when adding RO/DI to an auto top off do i neeed to add PH buffer ? i would use maybe 500ml a week from my ato storage bucket.
