Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi guys,
I've been in this hobby for about 7 months now but first time I really checked out the water parameters.
For my 48 gallon aquarium (4 months old, fish & plants)
GH=6, KH=5, PH=7.2, NH3,NH4=0.
18 gallon aquarium (3 weeks old, only plants no fish)
GH=8, KH=4, PH=72, NH3,NH4=0.
Now that I have all these readings, what does it actually mean?
I read that GH and KH should be relevatively same, but there's a big difference in my 18 gallon.
How can I raise my KH? or should I even try?
Really want to understand what these readings mean for my aquarium.
Thanks in advance!
