make sure the pH of the water is above 7.0.

find out what the GH and KH of the water supply is. You can usually get this info from the water company's website or by phoning them. Find out what the numbers are and what the test results are measured in (eg: ppm, dGH or something else).

7.5allthewayto7.8
Gh is less than 150-100
Kh is 40+
 
Pictures will help. You can add crushed coral or cuttlebones to make the water hardness more ideal.
