Hi all,
My water straight out of the tap is fairly hard with a KH of 11 and a GH of 15.
Ever since I've been using Tropica aquasoil it has helped to soften the water which is great and when the aquasoil was first added the KH was 3 and GH was 7.
These values have slowly been going up and currently my KH is 7 and GH is 12.
I am assuming the soil will stop softening the water over time and I will eventually be back to tap water values in the tank??
Why does the soil do this?
What would be the best way to keep my water softer? Cutting with RO or adding something else?
Many thanks
