Seedling
I live in Texas, where our water hardness is off the charts. My test kit goes to 350ppm, I peg that every test. If I had to guess we are over 450 ppm.
I've got 3 tanks running using the tap water ferts; however, I am struggling to grow epiphyte plants of all kinds.
If I am able to dial in ferts and lighting - will plants adjust to my local water hardness? This is sort of make or break for me.....I will not use RO or buy water (it's a hassle thing, not cost). So - if I can't do planted in my water....I guess I won't have planted tanks.
