My water is very hard and my PH is high. How do I lower both of these?
My water is very hard and my PH is high. How do I lower both of these?
Here are the results from the water test I did 5min ago.
GH 300
KH 60
PH 8.4
I woul like to make my water softer because my water seems to be to hard for most fish to handle according to most fish profiles.
The thing is if you have ammonia in your tank (whether its cylced or not) its better to have a lower pH because the type of ammonia present would be more of the nOn- toxic ammonia (NH4+) instead of the toxic kind (un-ionized, NH3) But if you dont have any ammonia problems then you shouldnt worry so much about pH only that you should avoid pH swings ...in which case its better to have hard water which prevents it...but like u said u want to keep discus...Yes my tank is cycled.
