I know it is good for keeping a pH balance in my tank. But where does it come from? My tap water, pH 7.2, KH <1. I know I have some snail shells that are dissolving but where could a KH of 10 come from? I only add the normal Gregs dosing, 10-15ppm KNO3, 1.5ppm KH2PO4, 1/8tsp K2SO4, every other day and .2ppm iron from CSM+B on the other days with a little, 1 tsp of MgSO4 in 100ml water with the CSM+B.
GH 8-9dGH
KH 10 dKH
pH 6.6.
Where is my KH coming from? Is there that much calcium from the dissolving shells? Is there other factors in play here? I really need to know because if I am not purposely making it that high, what happens when whatever it is suddenly doesn't exist in the tank anymore?
