Hello all,
Just wondering if it is completely necessary to monitor kh and gh in fw aquariums.
I've had my tank set up for quite some time now and never monitored it previously. I do however check the other stats at least twice a week (maybe I'm paranoid!!!). Provided everything else including pH is being monitored is it completely necessary?
I bought a API gH and kH kit the other day out of curiosity and got readings something like: kH = 0 and gH=200 (no idea what the units are and I'm at work so can't look!) So I believe this means that my water has no buffering ability to keep pH steady but I monitor that anyway?
What are people opinions about this?
