View Full Version : The Chemistry
Alright. I know a little about pH, kH, and gH. But I feel I need to know more. Can anyone tell me or point me into the right direction to where I can find out the specifics on how these three relate, affect, and determine the other. This is in reference to a planted tank that has Co2 injection. Help broaden my horizons.:cool:

If for a planted tank, you should ask in the Planted forum.
However, I dont know that the GH matters awhole lot in a planted tank. The Things to worry about are the pH, KH, Co2 relationship. Have you looked at the chart? If not, check this link.

www.thekrib.com/Chemistry is a good start.
www.skepticalaquarist.com in the Water folder has some links to further material on water chemistry and in the Plants folder links to CO2 etc etc.
