Aquarium Advice Regular
Looking for any comments, suggestions for my new tank. Okay, after searching for hours, trying to put together an attractive, unplanted community tank of hard water loving fish, that would fit my tank, I gave up. Here's the new plan for a planted 30 gallon high:
Eco-Complete substrate with sand
Assorted plants
4X 24 watt T5 light fixture
Aquaclear 70
8X Cardinal Tetras
6X Harlequin Rasboras
1X Pearl Gourami
1 Nerite Snails
Aquarium Advisor suggests:
Recommended temperature range: 75.2 - 77 F.
Recommended pH range: 7 - 7.5.
Recommended hardness range: 10 - 15 dH.
My tap water tests after sitting awhile :
GH 60
KH 40
pH 6.5
NO3 20
How can I raise the pH and lower the KH?
My new (3 weeks old) 10 gallon tests:
1 Betta 1 Cory
GH 60
KH 40+
pH 7.0
NO2 0.5
NO3 20
NH3 0 (did partial water change today)
