Dream Tank 2 72g Freshwater Planted Tank

Any idea what your kh and gh are of your tap? Most plants tend to like lower hardness levels. The aquarium will reduce the kh and gh for a while. But that will eventually run out.

If I did the api tests correctly, they are 3/53.7 kh and 4/71.6 gh but I don't really know what they should be yet or how to change them. TDS 86 and EC 173
am .25 and no3 5. Didn't bother with the rest. Ph this morning 7.1 and 4-5 hrs later iwth co2 6.68. C02 drop checker still blue. Prob. 3-4 drops per second

This is the part I have to learn. Last freshwater tank around 2000 didn't have all these resources.
