Water Parameters

Are these readings on the KH and GH readings in my tanks. Both tanks have KH=80ppm and GH=75ppm. Always checked PH and Ammonia but never GH and KH.

Your GH is OK but I think your KH should ideally be like 120 ppm....but never the less those are pretty good readings. ;)

Thanks alot. What could be done if anything to improve on my KH?

[aquariumfishguy]

In a way, KH ties in with your pH. Often times, if your KH isn't high then chances are your pH is rather low. So...what is your tanks pH?

I wouldn't change things. Like I said, the KH is a little low but not enough to prevent you from keeping fish in the water. It seems fine to me. You just have soft water....;)

My PH is at 7.4 which is how it comes out the tap.

[aquariumfishguy]

....Thats a good pH. ;)
