Has anyone noticed a difference between the two?
I bought some Ph down from the hydrostore and it had hydrochloric acid as its active ingredient. It was more expensive compared to the ph down from home depot, but I think it works better. My Ph levels stayed the same and the one bottle lasted almost a month. When I ran out I got the citric acid kind from home depot and it lasted 3 days. My res got all cloudy and the ph levels would keep going up.
Does the hydrochloric acid work better and is it worth the money?
Or maybe my problem is due to some other factor and just kicked in as I ran out of ph down, making it seem like the citric acid was the problem??
