After measuring both KH and pH for years (not often, BTW) it came to me that when the KH is high, the pH also is high, and vice versa.
My question is, ignoring CO2 levels, decomposition, plant and fish respiration, and similar variables, is there a direct correlation between KH and pH in an aquarium?
Stated another way, in a non-CO2 tank, is KH control a practical way to control pH? Is there a reason to check both KH and pH, if one is into testing?
Thanks.
