Thanks for the explanation.

I thought it was on the higher end of acceptable, but I think I'll still use RO water for a couple other fish i would also like in the tank

Thank you! I think this is what I will do for my 75 and that way I can give these fish the parameters they need.

Does anyone do a mix of tap with jugs of RO water? I am set on getting EBAs, don't know why I want them so bad, but I do. I was thinking of i did a mix it would maybe bring my hardness down enough for these species.

Mg/l is same as ppm

My city has the parameters set 187mg/l

Thank you!!

Other than the angels not generally being suited, which of the other ones do you have a problem with? We have hard water here, and that is why I was going with the EBAs. I will also be adding driftwood which should help with the hardness.

My water is on the harder side. All of the fish I have listed can be sourced through local breeders, so would be able to tolerate the levels. My plan was to get barbs that were more peaceful and I have read that with the right size school the fin nipping is less of a problem.

Hello, I have a new 75 gallon 48"×20"×18 that I am getting up and running with a marineland 360 canister filter. There will be sand substrate with primarily rocks and driftwood and a few plants throughout. My plan is to have at least 2 EBAs, a school of Barbs, a couple bristlenose plecos and...

I had one of those in the past. My favourite fish by far, but no idea where I would find one near me.

That's fair. I will get the other pair for the other tank. Thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you! Don't think it would be enough space? The breeder I got the rams from thought they should be fine, but I also have another tank in the works so could also pop them in there if it didn't work out.

My water is on the harder side but I have a pair of local bred german blue rams that are doing fine in my 40 gallon. I don't have exact numbers right now.
