My initial thread told you my carbonate was 300 and my pH 8.4. My Gh is 9 according to my test kitWithout divulging your results, It's impossible for us to have any idea of "what's best".

Okay thanks everyoneAgreed. There is no chemical fix, you need to keep hard water fish.
If you decide you want to keep soft water fish RO water is the way to go. I have extremely hard tap water but keep soft water fish. I pretty much tried everything before accepting this. Until then your LFS will no doubt continue to try to sell you water treatements and medications
What is RO?I had the exact same issues, with the same numbers... I now RO all my soft water aquariums, & blend my tap / well water, with RO for my shrimp tanks
