Water Softener And Iron Remover

Water ph gh kh CO₂ temperature are closely related when tending to planted aquarium.we must understand that hardness plays an important with relation to co2 dissolution and survival of plants.Ph of water must be always neutral.when water becomes acidic or basic,plants and fish tend to become and give off color.co2 becomes HCO3 when water is neutral.rocka and stones tend to increase ph,as they contain carbonate and bicarbonate ions which wash in water. pH plays an important role in water conditions.pH increases/decreases with slight change in other parameters of water.pH becomes acidic if it goes below 7 and basic if it goes above 7.it is always safe to kep pH level at +-7.5. The more acidic or the more basic the water becomes, the more of these ions in the water.they sometimes become strong enough to attack even the glass that your aquarium is made of. the next important factor is gH (general hardness) which is why we term as hard water or soft water.the more hard the water is,the lesser amount of Co2 will dissolve in water.consequently pH levels go up or down alongwith that.
