Afternoon all,
Just need a little help on my recent water report. Water is from United Utilities.
Mod soft.
Hardness Clarke 5.74 (is this classed as GH)
Also on the report I have 2 different lines.
1 Alkalinity as CaCO3/30.2 ( is this my KH)
2 Hardness total as CaCO3/59 ( what does this mean) I am justvtrying to work out if tank water is suitable for the following critters a already have in my tank.
Amano shrimp/blue/cherry shrimp.
Pygmy corrys / Green neon rasboras and cardinal tetras. The tank has been set up now for about 14weeks. Over the last few days of very hot weather we have had here in the norwest I have been doing daily 40% water changes as the tank temp was pushing 28c. I have lost 1 amano shrimp 2 blue shrimp 1 cherry shrimp and 2 pygmy corrys. Just wondering what may have caused it. Any help would be great. I havnt tested my water as I don't have test kits.
Cheers Lee
