Hello everyone.
I have never really tested my water hardness before and wanted to double check something.
I have about 10 Blue Dream shrimp in a 55 gallon. The hardness of the tank was measured with an API test kit.
GH - 15 drops or 268.5ppm (looks like this converts to 15.67 grains)
KH - 2 or 35.8ppm.
This seems like good water parameters for shrimp my only concern is the PH could swing easy.
My tapwater hardness reads GH - 12 drops or 214.8ppm and KH 4 - 71.6 ppm.
Could Prime be lowering the KH?
Does everyone think this OK parameters?
