| pH & GH in London- how do people cope? |
Subject: pH & GH in London- how do people cope? by DaveGodfrey on 26/6/2010 21:59:59 So I bit the bullet and bought a Fluval Roma 240, and its cycling nicely, ammonia reached zero for the first time today (10 days after starting), and the plants are starting to grow nicely. But my pH is 8, and the GH is 16. Is there anything I can do to bring this down, other than buying RO water? I was hoping to have a Native European (or as close as I could get to one given that some species are banned) tank with either minnows or sticklebacks and Weather Loaches. However it doesn't look like the water is going to be suitable for these species, nor for the second tank I've got planned (a cave set up for Blind Tetras). How does everyone else manage? |
