I'm not sure which Cichlids you're trying to keep, (I may have read it earlier but I don't remember now). But they sell RO/DI conditioner. To get the water back to where it needs to be, why not just go 100% RO/DI and use the right conditioner for the fish you want.
Thanks kjr!
Well Ruben, I honestly don't want to spend the money on these things lol. This is supposed to be a cheap tank. I theorize that my parameters will come out just right for Malawi cichlids such as C. afra or P. saulosi. If I'm wrong, then I will have wasted a day (tomorrow) emptying and filling my tank...then I'll buy the conditioner.

Update:
I did a 95% water change. Parameters are as follows:
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 1ppm
gH: 150 ppm-hard
kH: 300 ppm-very alkaline
pH: 7.8
phosphate: untested
Well, that's about where I wanted everything (except for ammonia lol).
