I just checked my water for my 37 gallon tank and i'm a little confused on how I should act based on my reading. All of my readings came out really good except for my PH and my hardness. I bought a recommended product to bring my PH to where it needs to be so that issue is resolved. When it comes to the hardness of my water there is a problem. I was told that in order to make it softer that i needed to do water changes but my tank is currently suffering from a bacteria bloom and i was told that i should not touch the water and to just leave it be due to the bloom. So i'm confused as to whether I do a water change to fix the hardness of the water or if i leave it alone until the bloom is gone? Or if there is another way for me to reduce the hardness of my water without worsening my bacteria problem?
