How much soft do you want it to be? What is the pH now?
You can use Sera super peat in the canister. I try that, and often it works. However, it all depends upon how soft you want. RO followed by Peat is the best combination.

how about a combination of peat and indian almond leaves.

dada all three tanks will be used for commercial purpose. ro water and canister are not possible.

Putting Stuff in the canister is important, however if you can't do that, do you think you can stuff the peat moss in a cloth bag and hide it inside the tank under some driftwoods and rocks?

this is simple small scale DI unit Just like kent water softner

Wouldnt be kent expensive ??

And keeping this type of stuff in aquarium at his commercial unit he can flaunt and also sell this kind of stuff......

I am still confuse on kent water softener it works on the basic of ion exchange. will it be safe for live stock ?? . also adding peat would be not problem i am getting JBL peat also but the concern is tanning due to peat
