I have a few questions for my aquarium.
1.) my GH is pretty much 0, while my KH is relatively middle/high. Is it essential I rise my GH? And how do I do so?
2.) my PH is about 7.8-8.0. I use activated carbon and read that is removed carbonic acid in the water. My tap water has a perfect 7.2 PH. Should I just use my filters without activated carbon?
3.) These water parameters have been consistent, GH of 0, KH high, PH slightly high. Is this what is making it take to long for my tank to cycle? It has been almost 2.5 months now and I still have 0.5 PPM ammonia. (API master test kit)
Any insight is so appreciated. I really need some help here. Thanks
