MY KH is to high KH isn't something I use to check but now I'm spending more time on my tank, I went and got a lot more Test kits and one was the KH (carbonate hardness). I took 19 drops to turn it from the Blue to the Yellow, now I want to have my tank in the 7-12 drops zone so how do I reduce the KH? Will water changes do it or is there another way? |
What is the KH of your tapwater? RO water is the best way to go when reducing KH. |
I don't have a RO set-up but my Tap water is 3 drops till it turns Yellow |
I hope you find the following usefull ttp://www.fishipedia.org/index.php?title=Hardness |
thanks, good site, didn't have that one...and yes it does help :wink: |
I've just changed 20ltrs of Tap water and will wait abit before I do my test again. I'm due to change 50ltrs of Sea water on this friday so I guess that will help and I'll bring my water changes back to every week till I get it back down. Does this sound like a good plan? Also would "Purple Up" push the KH up as I was putting a cap in each day? |
I got it down to 16 drops(KH 286.4ppm??) with the 20ltr tap water, will do the 50ltr saltwater tomorrow. so should I aim for KH @ 200ppm? |
