Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 90g planted tank that has been running for 5 weeks. When I set it up I knew nothing, after doing some research I have more questions. My pH is a bit higher then I want it - 7.8 (i have already been an angel fish murderer, which i feel awful about) Also I have fairly hard water out of the tap, my kH is 180 ppm and my GH is also 180 ppm. I recently purchased a tap water filter that makes deionized water. As I understand it I can not lower my pH without lowering my kH. Is it too much/ too little to add 50% tap water and 50% deionized water when I do my weekly 10% water change? Will this help? Any advice would be great!
