Water Conditioning.
Hi, Advice needed I am setting up some new (second hand) fish tanks the water has been in several days and is up to temperature, I checked the water this evening and the results are,
GH 5
KH 4
PH 6.5
Now I want the conditions to be, GH between 8 to 12 (say 10)
KH whatever
PH between 6.6 to 7.0
Any advice to obtain the above conditions would be appreciated, I should add I intend to use air driven box filters so and additive to them would be ideal.
Thanks,

Re: Water Conditioning.
have you tried adding bicardanate of soda that hardens the water and puts up the ph its a long time since i used to do it
or add coral frags to a corner bubble filter that adds calcium and puts up the ph in the same way

Hi Mick, thanks for your suggestions, I think I like the coral frags idea best, bicarb may be too unreliable but the coral should be there fir yonks, cheers
