I contacted my local environment agency to find out the water parameters for my tapwater just to give me a guideline. Here is what I was told
Hardness Classification - Soft
Expressed as Calcium Mg/l - 3.9
Expressed Calcium Carbonate Mg/l - 9.7
Expressed as Calcium millimoles - 0.1
Expressed as French degrees - 1.0
Expressed as English ( Clarke) degrees - 0.7
Expressed as German Degrees - 0.5
Parts per million - 3.9
No I do understand a bit about water quality etc but can any of you " experts" in keeping apisto's and/or SA dwarfs shed any light on whether this seems good or not.....personally I thought it looks pretty decent, obviously I will be doing a ph test also but as far as hardness goes should I be concerned?
