I’ve never worried too much about water hardness but because my OH has a betta we bought a GH and KH test kit. Our tap water is KH 12 and GH 20 which is Chuck Norris hard. The water in my tank is KH 4 and GH 10 And PH 6.8. Now I understand what each means but how does that relate to my tank. It’s a general community tank with danios, platies, dwarf gouram, cherry shrimp, ottosunclus and a L134. The cherry shrimp are breeding and the plants and fish seem happy enough. Should I alter anything or just leave it (I’m inclined to leave it)
I suspect the substrate (flora base pro) has something to do with it.
