Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Ok, a lot happened since i got my 10 black neons tetras (1 died )
But now i want to know which road to go...
I have low gh, (inferior to 3, will buy a liquid test to be sure as i begin to not trust strips),
Kh seems to be ok, around 6 (but same, not sure), and ph is higher than 7.6 (i have the liquid test low range, will got the high range to check).
In the tank, there is air stone, fluorite substrate, crushed oysters shells (dont ask me why, but i though that will help, now im thinking of removing it...change the full substrate), driftwood and live plants.
So thats the aquarium.
I tested the water from drinking tape, gh and kh low, ph high.
I tested the bore water, gh and kh low, ph 6.4
If i do a water change of 30% weekly which water should i use : tap or bore?
Knowing that the actual tank water is from bore.
I think i need to get a water conditionner to remove heavy metals and/or chlorine anyways.
And should i get equilibrium seachem for adding good minerals?
Or should i just be happy with my parameters?
Im scared that to add any of the waters as it is, the difference in numbers will do damages.
I read so much stuffs, i dont know anymore.
Thank you if you read all that
