ok, when i first started my tank, i didnt realize how immportant it was to test my tank regulary. so i got the dropper test kits, but i didnt like those because whenever i would have my water tested at the LFS it said completely different things. so i bought the kit they use. here are my readings:
Nitrate-30ppm
Nitrite- about .3 ppm
total hardness-(the problem)-150-200ppm
total alkalinity(what is this?)-180ppm
and my ph is high at 7.6
what can i do to make my water less hard and any other problems i have??
