I'd like to start a fish tank, more specifically, a planted tank
Fish wise I was mainly looking at small community fish with maybe 1 or 2 centre piece fish.
For the tank, I was looking at a 3ft, 30-40 gallons.
However I have a bit of a problem with my water
Nitrate 12.5 mg/l
PH 7.0-7.5 (I called my water commpany and they say it's 7.33)
My major problem is my GH, I'm using a API GH/KH test and my result was off the scale, the test goes up to 12 drops which is 214.8 ppm. Unfortunately it took 19-20 drops for the water in the vial to change colour!
What are my options from here?
