Hi all ,

I have 29 gallons tank with 6 goldfish.
Have plants in the tanks.

My pH is between 6 to 7 , KH is 10 .

The questions is :

1) how to increased KH ? The higher the KH , better for goldfish ?
2) use SeaChem Neutral to increased ph and remove ammonia ? Is the
products good?
3) how to remove nitrate ? Any products to use?
4) What is GH ? What GH suitable for goldfish

thanks

get organic dolomitic limestone. is off white with bits of darker stuff in it. in
garden centers. cheap. always check this stuff out in a gallon of water drop in a
tablespoon stir and leave overnight to make sure the pH doesnt go over 8.5 pH.

you are overstocked by about 2X. GF need minimum 10 gallons each. water changes
remove nitrates.
