Hi everyone.
I am considering setting up a second tank in the near future. I would like another community tank and have a couple of GBRs in there once it is well established. I understand their needs regarding general parameters but I have the problem of having high pH of 8.2 and hard water. I have spoken to m LFS and they say they keep their rams in the same water as I would have. I have checked the water quality in their region with the water company and it is indeed v similar to mine. My question really is would GBRs be ok in this high pH and hard water? I know they are not the best conditions but have heard in other threads that if they are in the LFS at similar parameters then thee is a chance. Any advice would be great.
