Would Sparkletts water be good to use for my 34g. tank. My tank is 8 days into the cycling process. It has mostly my tap water and some filtered water in it now. My tap water is hard (gh220,ph8.0)I have mollies and platys now. My PH is stable at 7.6. Sparkletts tests out to be 6.4PH and 60GH. I did a 20% water change on the 7th day because my ammonia level reached .5 +. I used 4 gallons of tap and 3 gallons of Sparkletts. Im afraid if I use all tap water my PH will rise too high. I think mollies and platys like hard water but at what GH # is considered hard. Should I be worried about GH and KH at this early stage?
