IMO you can sometimes worry about all the different parameters too much. If you get your ph right, the fish will probably be happy. Personally I never worry about the kh or ppm unless for my spawning pairs. You only really need to worry about ph/ammonia/nitrate etc. Let your fish tell you they are unhappy instead of a test kit. This is only my opinion of course and others may disagree |
