Hey guys, I did a couple of water tests from different sources using the liquid API test kit. Do the values below seem correct or did I do the test wrong? Personally I found it hard to see when the GH turned from "orange to green". If theses values do make sense, which type of water is best suited to breed Apisto Borellii?


Source: Tap
PH: 7.8
GH: 8-9 Degrees hardness (8-9 drops)
KH: 5-6 degrees (5-6 drops)

Source: Friends Soft Water Tank
PH: 7.8
GH: 5-6
KH: 6

Source: Distilled Water from Grocery Store
PH: 6.2
GH: 4-5
KH: 1

Source: 50/50 mix of Distilled Water and Friends Soft Water
PH: 7.8
GH: 4-5
KH: 4

Thanks in advance
