Hey you guys and gals. What is the ideal KH (Carbonated Hardness) and GH (General Hardness).

I'm at 2 DKH (35.8 ppm KH) and 3 DGH (53.7 ppm GH). Are these alright??

MY KH seems low?,, the downfall is a crashing PH??? Is that true??

if the kh is low then there maybe ph crashes, an easy way to boost it is buy some shellgrit an place about a handful at the back of the tank and the calcium will disolve into the water.
