hardness questions
"Brian" wrote in message
... Did some water testing today, which I do very infrequently. My carbonate hardness is only 3 degrees; no surprise there, I have plants to take up carbon in the water. But my general hardness was off the scale. Then I tested the tap water, and it was, too. I use a small amount of Seachem Discus buffer, but I only cut the pH to about 7.0. Is my hardness test so old it doesn't work anymore, or do I have a problem? B -- Brian Heller Without knowing your water change routine and your real source water parameters, it's hard to comment. The fact that you are buffering your water and chemically reducing your pH doesn't help with any diagnostics either. Sorry. -- www.NetMax.tk |

hardness questions
I just had a hardness test go bad. I knew it was bad when I tested reverse
osmosis water and it said it was off the chart hard. The old worn out solution looked orange in the bottle, and the new one (same brand) looked green. They definitely can wear out! Allison Is my hardness test so old it doesn't work anymore, or do I have a problem? B -- Brian Heller |
