Great video! I learned a lot about the importance of maintaining the right water hardness for my aquarium. Your explanation of the differences between GH (General Hardness) and KH (Carbonate Hardness) was really clear. Thanks for the tips on testing and adjusting hardness levels to keep my fish healthy!
This video was incredibly helpful in explaining aquarium water hardness! I've struggled with understanding this concept, but your clear explanations and visual aids made it so much easier to grasp. Now I feel confident in managing the water conditions for my fish. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Thank you for such an educational video on aquarium water hardness! I now feel more confident in managing my tank's conditions. Your guidance is invaluable!
This video is incredibly informative! Understanding aquarium water hardness and its importance is crucial for maintaining a healthy tank. Your detailed explanation on what affects water hardness and how to manage it is really helpful. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights!
Informative video! Understanding water hardness is crucial for maintaining a healthy aquarium ecosystem. Whether you’re keeping freshwater fish, shrimp, or plants, balancing hardness levels ensures their well-being. Looking forward to more insights on aquarium care!
These tips will really help many fishkeepers to manage water quality. Water hardness has a big influence on the environment of our fish. We can use liquid to test the water condition and the PH level. Thank you so much for doing this video.
What great information! One of the best videos I've seen regarding the subject, excellent explanation and very relevant information, it was just what I was looking for, thank you for sharing this amazing video..
A wonderful video and an excellent explanation of how to maintain the appropriate hardness and temperature for my aquarium. I have benefited greatly. Thank you
Don’t forget when topping off tanks, use RO water otherwise adding hard water will just increase the hardness of the water in the tank. This was my mistake for years as I neglected GH and KH
This is amazing tutorial and informative video. In this video you deeply explained step by step Aquarium Water Hardness. I respect your great explained. Thanks for share the informative and valuable video
I have very hard well water, if I add 1/2 well water and 1/2 distilled water my gh is 15 and kh is 10. Would this be okay for endlers, snails and plants or would 3/4 disilled and 1/4 tap be better? I have not set up a aquarium yet because I have been trying to figure out how to make my rock hard water work.
well thanks for that information it were plenaty i didnt know about the gh or that magnesium or calsuim percentage but really thanks for information . beside i am quite intrested in fish peting so these information that i leanred is so great
Informative. Very clearly explained. If i am using RO water for the discus tank ( tap water over 500 ppm tds as it is borewell dependent locality ), RO water is neutral being slightly acidic and it is devoid of any minerals which can be adjusted with a remineralizer ( Seachem Equilibrium ) but what about the Kh. RO water has insignificant Kh to retain a stable Ph which can crash. The Alkaline buffer ( Seachem ) will retain the buffering capacity by increasing Kh but it is not permanent as once the buffering capacity depletes the Kh will drop and so will the Ph which will kill all the fishes. Does a Alkaline RO unit serves the purpose or a minimum amount of crushed coral in mesh bag in the filtration system or Coral Shell in tank is the solution?
Hi there. In my experience when it comes to buffering I used stuff in the tank like limestone and driftwood along with buffering agents to adjusted the purified water to close to the in tank conditions to avoid spiking.
Its alkaline but reads 300 hard. I dont understand that. I guess i need almond leaf &/or driftwood....or peet moss..I was told to use spring water for my betta not distilled...
Distilled shouldn’t be used in a fish tank unless it’s for top off or you put in minerals. Spring water is a good alternative. Almond leafs are very good at making water soft and was used for their healing properties in Thailand when the fish were used for fighting
We know that GH is the opposite of KH, but what is important here is that the fish's habitat requires sufficient magnesium and calcium ions so that there is a balance aquarium water hardness

Excellent video content reflects the facts of Aquarium Water Hardness.
The video is very nice I can learn a lot if there is a video like this I have learned a lot from the video

@@AquariumStoreDepot What about crushed coral in mesh bag in canister filter? Will it increase the Kh and Gh of RO water?
@@rajadey4919 that also works

How about rainwater?
It can work if the parameters check out
Nice

Wondershell good for this?
