Hi There,
I setup a new aquarium 10 days ago and still have no fish there its a 60 G tank with Aqu-clear Power filter,
I like to keep a variety of guppy and molly and some low light plants.
I got a water tester and got following result first day after setup the tank:
(I have been told that water hardness is very low in my area)
Ph : 5.5
Hardness: 0-25 very low
Alkalinity: very low
I ask Pet-smart and they told me to add some aquarium salt, I added 1 Table Spoon for each 10 G (They told me to add 1 for each 5 Gal)
Now after a week I get the following result:
Ph : 7:00
Hardness: 0-25 very low
Alkalinity: 200 (Middle)
It seams the salt make the PH and Alkalinity higher but didn't help on Hardness,
Any suggestions? Do I need to be worry about Hardness?
Thanks
