Hello,
I recently move to a new location and my water source is a 40m deep drilled well. The hardness is extremely high, but the NO2, NO3 and of course CL are zero. I'll call this "hard water"
no3 - 0
no2 - 0
gh - 16
kh - 15
ph - 7.6
cl - 0
I have also a softener which change the water to:
I'll call this "soft water"
Cl - 0
PH - 7.6
KH - 15
GH - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0
If I mix the water from the drilled wall and the softener water (in different proportions) I'll get:
NO2, NO3, CL = 0
PH = 7.6
GH = any value I want from 0 to 16. For example I got GH=8 with 1/3 "hard water" and 2/3 "soft water"
KH=15.
My tank, 140 liters:
Lenght=70cm
Width=40cm
Height=50cm
My tank is not started yet, I need to know what kind of plants and fishes are compatible with my water. I want a planted tank, not african cichilds. I will have an external filter and CO2.
The question is: what kind of plants and fishes do you suggest me ? How the huge KH value will affect my tank ?
Thank you
