Total Hardness and GH Question

[AwesomesHome]

Hello,



I bought some test strips, made by imagitarium. The test strip I think measured this.


pH 7.5
Total alkalinity 0
Total Harness 25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0


I have been reading about alkalinity and GH.


Is Total Harness the same as GH?


Total hardness is measured in ppm.


How do I find out what the GH is if they are the same which is measured in Dgh.


Is there a way to calculate Total Harness ppm to Dgh?


Can my plants grow with a Total Hardness at 25 ppm?

Each type of tests have a variety of ways they measure. Dip test sticks and liquid test kits.

This water chemistry stuff is confusing for me personally overall. But the more often I read about it the better it sinks in

Total hardness is also referred to as General Hardness dGH is degrees of GH.

There is also TDS which is all the Stuff. Total Dissolves Solids.
