What chemicals are there in Tanganyika water?

[Jose1]

What chemicals are there in Tanganyika water?
I wish to make my own using marine fish "ingredients".
Does it have salt?, exact pH?
Anyone have thier own recipe?
I will age the water in a big tub with calcium based rock and sand, also shells.
Please help!!!

google the rest-a search on google to begin with would have brought up more links than you would have the time for :wink:

there are commercially available mixes that are so cheap-it isn't worth the efffort to make your own, nowadays

Nothing you can't make yourself with a little sea salt, baking soda and epsum salts...

Here's an article you may find interesting:

And a link to preparing your own rift lake salt/buffer:

It's not that difficult.

Hope that helps
