According to my test kit (Red Sea Deluxe-Fresh Lab) both my GH and KH are in the soft range (7 and 5 respectively). Won a RO-water/tap-water mix make the water too soft?
>>If you have high pH that is difficult to bring down, this would indicate to us that the water is well-buffered. In my own opinion, it would be better to use RO/DI water sans CO2 injections (that pH bounce again) because it will not be “resistant” to change, in a manner of speaking. >I have a low volume (10 gal/day) GE unit installed under the kitchen sink. I think the lack of happiness on the part of the fish (really it is only one of my Angel Fish that is pumping it’s gills more then I would like) has more to do with my ammonia being high. >>This wasn’t mentioned in the previous message. It is far more important that you address THIS than the pH or hardness issues. Today’s freshwater angels are, for the most part, bred in fish farms and as such are quite happy in a variety of pH and water hardness situations. You will kill your animals very quickly messing about with pH, but you will also lose many to high ammonia with an uncycled tank, too. >I guess the 9 Oto’s and 6 shrimp that I
