Allan Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Any ideas why hardness is gray? I've seen other threads that it will turn pink after a GK of 300... does it go gray after that? I'm usually in the high end of hard water, so I guess my concern is that my water didn't crash below soft.

Guppysnail Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Was this photo taken at exactly 60 seconds after swirling in the tank for 3 seconds? My results get really weird if I wait more than 60 seconds or if I don’t swirl for 30 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Yes, I set a timer on my phone to be sure. I've repeated the test with the same results. It's been 24 hours and all the fish are acting fine. Seems like nothing to be concerned with at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily a bad thing, but that's kind of what it looks like to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
