I finally found a GH/KH test kit at one of the LFS, so I brought it home & ran my weekly test.
Ammo/Nitrites 0
Nitrates 20
PH : 6
GH : 60-80
KH : less than 10
My PH seems low to me, & I am wondering if the small chunk of planted DW may be the culprit? However, my other question is concerning my GH & KH... I have no real idea what these mean, other than my KH being really low. I plan on dosing Co2 when I get my bigger tank, & from what I understand, I need to achieve a certain balance with the PH/KH/GH triumverate.
Can someone give me a blow by blow on what these numbers mean... talk slow & use small words!
