Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi
I have left my tank without fish stock for about 2 months, as I lost my group of Mickey Mouse Platies due to an accident by a family member whilst I was in hospital.
I use RODI water with new replacement stage 4 equipment.
My testing showed that PH was 8.0, but KH was 12 and GH was 15.
Should I be worried by the KH & GH figures?
How can I reduce both figures without crashing my PH?
I use Dennerle Shrimp King Shrimp Salt KH plus & GH plus to remineralize my RODI water.
Unfortunately, I have confused myself silly, via YouTube and other advise, so I would like to know what I should do before I consider adding Shrimp or Chilli Rasbora?
1. Carry on using my current remineralize regime, or change to what?
2. Using water softener pillows or what type of buffer to lower both.
3. Any other advise, would be really gratefully receive.
Please help.
