Good morning all,
Our family moved to a new home and I am preparing to setup an aquarium, possibly with Discus. Before I make the attempt I would like to get some info on our water. We are on a well at this new location and we have no outside attachments/equipment, i.e. RO, Softener or any other kind of device connected.
pH out of the tap is 6.0 - 6.5. PH after sitting for 24 hrs in a cup is the same.
Hardness, according to a professional test is: Hardness as CaCO3 = 10.6 mg/L
I do not understand the above hardness reading? Is it good or bad? Does it mean my water will stay stable at PH 6.0
What is the reading that let's you know if your water has good buffering properties to keep it stable?
Thanks for the help.
