Hello everyone! Being relatively new to the modern aquarium, I do not understand the relationship between KH and GH. I used the API test and got 11 for both. Is this too high? Also I cannot use my water at home b/c I have a water softener and acid neutralizer hooked up to the system d/t bad well water. The pH on my tap water is like 8.8, so we use water from a local spring. Parameters in my tank currently are:
pH - 7.0
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrites - 0ppm
Nitrates - 0ppm
KH - 11 degrees
GH - 11 degrees
All this was obtained using API Master Test Kit and API GH and KH Test Kit
29 gallon tank includes:
7 Tiger Barbs
6 Zebra Danios
1 Albino Pleco
1 Red Tail Shark
3 Gold Inca Snails
Various live plants w/ DIY CO2
Thanks in advance for any advice/help!
