Hi all,
I have hard water in my area the gh Is 17 drops on the api test kit and kh 3 drops. Ph is about 7.6/7.8.
I have always wanted to breed some fish but alot of the fish i want to try like alot softer water and lower ph. They would be in their own tank my main tanks would stay with the water as is. If I did say half tap water and half ro water would this make my water softer/lower the ph? I have never used ro before so I'm really unsure what this would actually do. What other options could I have to help me lower my parameters without adding chemicals to lower things.
Thanks all.
