new discus set up and readings

[richard147]

hi all i have the following test results and wonder if someone could enlighten me thanks

GH 160mg/l 8.9 DH
KH 70mg/l 3.9 DH
PH 7.6

i think the conversion is correct if not please let me know. the discus I'm getting through the LFS orders them in and they are kept in 7.8 PH so ph seems ok but not sure about the hardness? thanks in advance richard.

Not sure where the question is but your water is fine. I suggest you quit checking GH, KH, and PH. Concentrate on keeping it clean and you will be fine.

+1. Those numbers look fine. Unless you are trying to breed your discus, they should be fine in a wide range of hardness and PH. Just keep it clean and they will thrive.

quick questions, is this an established tank or a brand new set-up, how long has it been up and running?
