GH change

[AquaBarb]

Had a interesting phone call with my local water board yesterday. While i was on i wanted to double check with them about the GH of my water and i was shocked to learn my water is softer than i thought. I doubled checked online and it turns out my water is 163ppm (9Gh) which flabbergasted me because ive been going on 13 Gh.

luckily i havent got any liverbearers and the fish i do have still come in the new range. I was going on a certain area code which i didnt realise split into 2 sections.

Really chuffed because this opens up my fish options somewhat for the better

That is great, wish my water was softer it would save me lugging all those 5 gallon R O water jugs.

Are you doing any water changes? If you are how often and haw much water do you change.? If you don't do regular water changes and don't replace enough water . the Tanks GH level will increase over time. I personally do a 50% water change once a week.
