sk_s Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I use sea chem neutral regulator,API stress coat and small amount of baking soda. My ph is 7.6, kh is 4, but can't change the GH because my tap water is liquid rock. My tanks are too small for RO system,,and also out of budget. Lugging distilled water not practical. can I grow live plants in this,or will it kill the plants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Just did a GH test on one of my tanks with crushed coral substrate. Growing Val, Crypts, Java Ferns, Guppy Grass, and Java Moss. Took 13 drops to change color, that's over 200 PPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 My gh out of the tap I think was 17 drops, I have no problems with plants, not sure if 19 is to far, also I think valisinaria or saggitaria like hard water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_s Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks for plant suggestions. I put names of the plants in the fish file I keep.I found out the petco near me does not correct the hard water here,so I will get plants there as they should already be acclimated. I don't have a pet shop available so I have to buy from big chain pet stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
