GH = 60 degre = ???

Hi guys.
Just wanted to know if it could be harmful to my Lamprologus Multifaciatus (shell dwellers cichlids) to live in a tank with such a high hardness.

I ve used aragonite sand in my tank to increase PH and Gh. Now I found out yesterday that my PH is at about 7.9 (that's pretty good) and my GH is at 60 degrees... (wow !!)

Is that ok??

That sounds really high. Have you checked the tank after doing a waterchange? Often when you first add things to the tank you get a sudden surge, the the action slows down. I would try changing 20 % for a couple of days , the check.
