Hi all! I am so glad I found this forum - VERY active and I love what I have been learning. I recently set up a 55 gallon tank that I received from a friend who is no longer using it. I put in 8 zebra danios and one pleco to start the cycling process. 2 of the little danios didnt make it past 24 hours but the other 6 seem fine. I am not getting any ammonia readings yet, my PH is at 7.5 - my GH is less than 1 and my KH is at 10 (both german hardness readings). Isn't it odd to have a KH that is on the high side and GH on the low side? I have a well at home for my water and I do have a softener on it using potasium chloride instead of sodium chloride, plus I let the water sit for a few days before putting any fish in it. My water temperature is between 78 and 80 degrees so I don' think that is an issue. I think I anticipated any additional questions, but if you need any further info, please let me know.
TIA
