OK here is a quandry ... I have been reading my books, several books and a few websites - and they all seem to say that with a hard water that a low pH is impossible ....
Well how come my numbers look like this - and I have done them three times now just to be sure.
pH 6.5 - maybe less no colour change
Alkalinity (KH) 53 ppm
Hardness (GH) 249 ppm
Nitrate 50ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
I just started a new Eheim filter, done a water change and a majer gravel hoover so I hope the Nitrate will drop over the coming weeks.
Are these numbers OK ???
