I've been keeping red cherry shrimp for a while, so I feel ready for some crystal red shrimp (my dream shrimp). I don't want to fiddle around with remineralization and RO/DI water, so I want to make sure that I can use my tap water or spring water. I know gH and kH are better indicators of water quality than TDS, but I want to know if I have the first requirement down.
I looked up my area's ppm water hardness (since water companies don't seem to use TDS) and it shows up as "hardness settings set to 6.6 to 10.8 GBG or 108 to 125 ppm". Does the 108 to 125 ppm mean 108 to 125 TDS?
