Hi,I have a question about my parameters, my tap water and tank water have a ph of 7.6 but my Gh is 125 ppm and my kh is 89.3 ppm.
I thought a high ph goes in hand with a high gh but the gh is medium?
Any help would be great,I am still cycling my tank at the minute so no fish to worry about as of yet.
Thanks.
 
7.6 I think would be regarded as a mid range pH so would go hand in hand with your Gh. The kh seems fine as well, this is the one that determines the stability of your pH. A minimum for kH is around 40-50ppm so that is a good reading as well so there doesn't seem to be any real problems with your water.
 
Thanks for the quick response duckanddive, another quick question off the original topic,do you think these parameters would be ideal to keep,trigonostigma espei ,adolfoi cory,and maybe dwarf gourami or another small labyrinth fish as I only have 60ltrs?
it will be planted aswell.
