In ppm, they do best at 200 ppm or over - or 11 dH.

Seachem make 2 products, Equilibrium and Replenish. Both increase GH but one is better for plants, the other for fish according to what Seachem told Byron. He explains it all in post #18 here

Water trouble!

Yeah @essjay said you use 100% osmosis water. Did you buy your own RO filter or do you buy it somewhere? Is it expensive for to do waterchanges? My water is also very hard so maybe diluting it with RO water could help lower it or using RO and adding aquasafe to remineralize it a bit maybe? I...
