Hey,

I don't have a detailed tap water analysis (yet) but:

Tap
PH 7.5
GH 140-160 MG/l CaC03
KH 90-100 mg/L

Tank
Ph 6.6-6.8
Temp 80.1 F
Ammonia 0 mg/L
Nitrate 0 mg/l
Nitrite 0 mg/l

So #2 and 3 are answered so far. I thought that was the case, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the prompt reply..............

Any further help on the thousand other questions?

Thanks for the help and to all who may send further advice
