    Thanks so much. I’m gonna watch it now. I appreciate your thoughts and help! ~T

    Update: So after a 75% water removal, I put in r/o water to fill the tank. The resulting test brought the hardness down to a medium high level. So it appears that I’ll never use my tap water to do water changes or top offs. Fortunately, I caught it in the first of my nano tanks before my fish arrived. Will the “Super Duper Hard water” affect my plants too much? They were in it for about two weeks. It’s my first planted tank so I went with those plants marked on the Aq.Coop website as “easy” to care for. thoughts?

    I thought that too initially. So I checked it with a second strip. Same results. Then I checked my tap water just too see what it was... same results (with the exception of the chlorine and nitrates and nitrites, which I expected).

    Just got an email from Candi who said I needed “More Buffer”? But I’m already at a high-medium according to the test strip... I don’t get how that will help? Just trying to understand what it actually means... is my water Too Soft or Super hard? And how will adding crushed coral help? Now more confused than before.

    Help! Please. I tested my water with the Aq.Coop test strips and an odd reading came up! The water hardness portion of the strip turned a darker shade of pink, not a shade of blue as the chart indicated it should. What does this mean? Any help would be extremely appreciated since I have fish coming and no where to put them! Best regards Troy B.
