Excellent video content reflects the facts of Aquarium Water Hardness.
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..
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?
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.
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
I love your channel
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
Waoo really beautiful and amazing video ❤ thanks
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!
Wow,
What an informative video it is.
You describe easily how to care aquarium.
Thanks for give us important information Step by step..
THANK YOU for this 🙏🏼
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
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 love this!!! Very good job! I love the photo editing and quality! Continue!…
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!
I think this is a very amazing video. This video is a really informative and helpful for us. Thank you so much.
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
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.
Wow amazing . I love this video
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!
