75 gallon. Parameters are just about as perfect gets. Except for my pH and gh. Around 8.2 for pH. 300+ ppm for gh. My water is so hard that I could sue the water company for assault and battery. I can't seem to keep even angels alive and this is going to evolve into a discus tank. The only thing bad about the parameters is the pH and gh. Ammonia 0, nitrites < 0.5 ppm, nitrates <20 ppm (close to 15-17 ppm), chlorine/chloramine 0. Thinking about using the peat route. Going to run a little internal filter, packed with organic peat moss, that runs top end of 97.75 gph. Considering the size of the tank and the low turnover (I can reduce it to around 45 gph) of the filter, can I actually do this without killing my fish due to pH shock? Just use that little filter as a committed water softener. That small of a setup shouldnt have that large an effect on a large tank I wouldn't think. Also should be installing a jebao rw-8 later this evening. Thanks for all the future advice.
