First off, a little back ground. Its a 29 gallon with 65 watts of 6700k light on it. Currently there are a couple of anubia (both seem to be stalled, growth wise) and a couple of crypts. One is monstrous (although it looks a bit pale), the other is tiny and doesnt grow at all. No CO2, no regular airstone... no pump at all. Lots of community fish including Mollies, Endlers, Corys, Otos, and SAEs (Probably a bit overstocked, I know. I'm taking all but 2 of the Endlers back to the fish shop to get store credit).
So I've just done some tests and here is what I've got...
KH - 9 - I believe this is high... Correct? What "SHOULD" this be and how do I get it there?
GH - 3 - I believe this is on the low side... is that correct? Again, what "SHOULD" this be and how do I get it there?
PH - Regular PH reading shows on the high side of the card at 7.6 or maybe a bit higher, so I tried it with the high range PH test and that showed about 8.2. Should this be as close to 7 as possible or does that depend on the plants I'm keeping?
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10 - 15
Phosphate - 0.25
How does all of that look and what do I need to change? HELLLLLLP!
