just tested my water. A=0, nI=0, nA=5. No probs there....

but kH is now only 53.7ppm, down from 107.4ppm one week ago
gH is 107.4, down from 179ppm one week ago
pH is now 6.8 down from 7.2 one week ago.

Are these numbers OK? Did 50% water change on Friday. Treating with QuickCure for parasite on one Neon Rainbow (2 treatments only so far).

what are those same parameters direct from your tap?

Now this is VERY odd.
From tap
A=0
nI=0
nA=80
pH=6.4
kH=same as from tank
gH=same as from tank

What's odd is that just one week ago params were radically higher from the tap except A=0, nI=0 then too. nA out of the tap was around 30. Guess my local water company has made some changes to my water. Hum....what does this mean for my tank?

Depending on the source of the water for your community (river, wells, lake), water quality can vary even on a daily basis.
