*Want to know why we didn't mention TDS meters in this video? Watch this video from Cory: **kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4mqn5lnnNdohsk*

[@nochillkowa9493]

Why can’t all the videos I’m watching be like this? Nuggets of information that actually matter, structured, and no unnecessary ads. Thanks aquarium coop

[@bones1026]

you should watch her channel, every video is like this! its girl talks fish

[@angelpineda7646]

Alot of experience fish ppl or how ever theyre called try to give you lectures about everything. Not everyone was born knowing everything about aquariums appreciate videos like this one

[@ThsboiWilliam]

@@angelpineda7646 its ppm not ppl

[@nihilisticrogue1048]

​@@bones1026 Agreed! I've been in the hobby for years and still watch her (and the other aquarium co-op) videos a lot. So much information that is beyond helpful.

[@k-shop210]

They have mastered fish, the KZbin algorithm, and most importantly building relationships! They think of their audience, and the rest flows.

[@MidnightGeekSS]

I love these videos Irene, you always put information in a very simple way. thanks!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching. :)

Wait which Cory?

[@n_e_y_o]

You're the only one that actually showed how to use the tests. Thanks a lot, my GH is 1! I was confused cause the test instantly turned green.

[@chillausmc]

Bravo! Where have you been this whole time? Darn KZbin finally suggests this video... Thank you for content, it will save many lives.

[@baikia777]

Whuaaat?? A Gamer's Wife with the co-op now?? I thought youtube was glitching when i saw her in the co-op thumbnail. I haven't watched fish keeping channels for a few months now so this is really surprising.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Hehe, I started working for Aquarium Co-Op last year, but just recently started making videos for this channel. Enjoy!

[@_lucid_one]

KH and GH has been my last topic to tackle for my water, thanks for explaining this!

[@inman8583]

Thank you Irene for explaining these tests. This video has really helped me understand what pH, GH and KH are and how I can monitor levels. I am new to keeping Aquarium fish and this video and your other videos have helped me become more aware of doing the right things for my fish. Thanks again!

[@Funny-rw1mc]

I cannot thank you guys enough for this beginners guide videos you bring to us, these videos have helped me towards successfully keeping my first aquarium without having any fish dying because I got correct water parameters from following these vids.

[@Allyishekacool]

My girl is out here doing the lord's work 🙌

[@michelletoni3067]

Great videos every time, I come here, I am never disappointed, thank you 🙏

[@heyitsnovabound]

I finally understand kh and gh. So many unexplained shrimp deaths are now explained. I was told at the lfs i had "hard water" when i told them I'm on well water, but i was confused because i had to buy water softener. It also explains why the gH kit didnt go from orange to green, and was just a very very light green after 1 drop...and why veteran plants look poopy after being in my tank for so long. Thannnnnnk youuuuuuuuu

[@GirlTalksFish]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@nikkihays2971]

I have the same results when I test with the kit too. Water changing tint after one drop. My snails are really struggling with their shell development. What did you do to raise the levels?

[@heyitsnovabound]

@@nikkihays2971 i started buying wonder shells on the regular as i read they raise hardness. Crushed coral also dissolves slowly and increases water hardness

[@kidwolf0015]

Oof... Home wellwater softeners can sometimes replace some calcium with sodium. I deal with that somewhat, so I probably should get a calcium test... just to get an idea of how much calcium is still actually calcium.

[@Telkana806]

Great video! Always heard to measure these, but never really understood what they should be and what to do with the rest results.

[@gabrieldemiguel9380]

Oh My God! I have been looking for how to use API's GH & KH kit for weeks. This video has never shown up in any search. I just now found it by accident 😄. Thank you so much!

[@FrederickDunn]

Hands down, this is my favorite aquarium and aqua-culture channel. Thank you for the excellent and helpful tips that are expertly presented. Well done in every respect.

[@nathanaelsmith3553]

One mistake I've made withe the Master API Test kit is neglecting to rinse the test tube and cap thoroughly enough between tests. The pH tests seem particularly sensitive to the other chemicals in the same kit, so if you don't rinse thoroughly before using it you'll get bizarre results. The cap has a kind of groove in it so I now always make sure to rinse that recess out thoroughly.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Very true! Thanks for the tip.

[@himlolo]

Drop tests are usually innacurate anyways

[@effinjeffin1811]

Thank you for showing how to test correctly! I can't say how many youtubers drop reagents horizontally! Which is WRONG! Vertically dropping in reagents gives an accurate test result.

[@PaulGreeve]

Irene, thanks. Learning about all this can be daunting for beginners like me. It's too easy to misinterpret the readings and panic. I was intrigued to see you get the same colours for pH tests that I've been getting. I was worried it was to high. It's great to hear your advice and know I can be much more comfortable that my fish should be fine (which they are).

[@GirlTalksFish]

My pleasure! Yeah, at first I was so confused about having high pH with soft water, but I've learned to cope with it. :)

[@FrederickDunn]

At 03:27 I have those also and it's extremely frustrating that those fold-outs stick together and then tear off the Alkalinity and pH lower image, making them no longer useful. I wish they simply included a separate card for this purpose. If there is a separate card, I would definitely purchase that.

[@claudiafotiou7546]

Irene is so incredibly informative, truly. This was an excellent video, would love to see more like this! : )

[@2be1withU]

Wow. Great vid. I now don't have to worry about high GH. It is always around 150-200 using AquaCooP test. Even with the nitrate, I thought it was time for water change when it hits around 40plus but with the test strip instruction it is around 100ppm.

[@fernietheepyro488]

Samee!! Just like you... but definitely need seachem equilibrium... getting it delivered tomorrow!!!💯😎 my plants literally show no other symptoms or sign other than calcium deficiency.. they look like orange color a bit brownish.. so saw others pictures its definitely low calcium and aside my water is a bit soft than what it needs to be for mollies.. Ita at about 7 to 8 GH i need at at least 12 13 GH plus those plant minerals

[@fragile880]

I've needed this a long time and I keep everything from shrimp and guppies to a reef tank. And still didn't know some of this. Thanks aquarium co-op helping all parts of the hobby!

[@GirlTalksFish]

Yay, I'm glad this helped!

[@TheOrdinaryGamertag]

Love that Irene is getting more involved over here! Great video!

[@Cbtrainnut]

Excellent video Irene! Thank you so much!

[@Alemucho1]

Thank you!!!! Perfect explanation!!!!

[@lisajligon]

The API water test kits are such a pain but they're so much more accurate it's worth the extra trouble.

[@BrianS756]

The only problem I had with these tests was the nitrate reading. I couldn't tell the difference between the differentent color reds. But now, I usually only test when I see a problem with my fish. Which is super rare.

[@GirlTalksFish]

So true. I've come to recognize which parameters my test strips are good at measuring and which ones are way off base.

[@min2oly]

Thanks Irene! my ammonia was zero nitrates nitrites ph all under control 2 month old planted tank with blue german rams. My GH was off the chart! well 16 drops... amazing I only lost one german! turns out I did not rinse out my old "live rock" enough from my salted marine aquarium! I removed it and am in the process of trying to boil it off, might not be able to add it back in :( kind of sad because I carpeted it with Dwarf Baby tears Seeds oh well, live and learn.

[@jg7589]

You've given me sooo much information!!! Thanks so very much

[@20gallonfresh98]

My water is pretty high on pH from tap and my bulb plants melted as well, especially aponogeton. My fish and shrimp, however, are doing well. I did not want to change the water parameters and starting to use hardier plants as well. It is hard to grow beautiful green plants without extra co2 or chemicals.

[@C.M.M.23]

Great video. Thank you so much. I'm looking to bump my gh a slight degree and don't want to use crushed coral, like you said. I'll probably go the route of manipulating my filter mediums. Aquariums are a top-tier hobby for sure. 👍

[@petroman-cg8tt]

i use an ro/di unit for my discus, i add discus minerals back into my 50 gallon holding tank, then i do my water changes. this gives me 80ppms gh. no kh i keep my nitrates below 5ppms. i have 3-90 gallon 4inch sand beds with planted discus tanks. ph-6.4 and 86 degrees. i get the discus minerals from germany, could not find them in the united states, this works great for me. i have 1-pair of discus in each 90 gallon aquarium along with 4-cory cats. discus always laying eggs. again this works well for me.

[@CantonmentBoy]

I love you 😍, oh and your videos too! Seriously good info, easily explained. 😬

[@CassyAthena]

great video. thank you

[@obtainingmercycroft]

I live in FL, so my GH is over 300...literally off-the-charts hard. However, my KH often drops low, even going to 0, if I don't have Wonder Shells and/or coral in the tank. Any idea why that may be happening? In my 55-gallon, I do a Large Wonder Shell and have an entire layer of crushed coral in the substrate. It keeps the KH between 40-80. But I'm just wondering what causes the KH to bottom out when the GH is so high.

[@spiraleena9237]

I’m guessing it has something to do with limestone? Bc as a native Floridian I remember that lot of Florida is limestone. I had a similar question, actually here in California! My Tap water PH is high, with low GH and KH. I added oyster shells, and it only increased a bit. Then I added wonder shells. My GH was 14 ( from 5) but my KH actually dropped from 3/4 to 2! How do I raise the KH without a huge effect on GH and PH. Is it even possible? Might have to just use filtered watered and add minerals back in myself 🤷‍♀️although that’s basically what I’m doing now!

[@ScooterFXRS]

You might want to add a dolomite rock in to your aquarium or just add dolomite powder a bit at a time until you reach your target goal. Much like limestone it to is a sedimentary carbonate rock with usually considerably more Mg in it.

[@midnightbel]

I know this was a long time ago, but does your KH test even turn blue? Not sure if I'm getting a bad reading or not, but been having pH crashes so decided to get a GH and KH test, and it went straight to extremely pale yellow then second drop little bit more yellow. No blue. Is it faulty or just a sign of low KH.

[@obtainingmercycroft]

@MidnightBel I'm so sorry...I have no idea. It's been well over a year since I did those tests & I just don't remember .😞

[@midnightbel]

@@obtainingmercycroft did more on my tap and then my turtle tank before having them test it out at the store I bought it at. Turns out my one cycling heavily planted tank with no fish in it has 0 KH and crashing PH for some reason. Sand for substrate so I don't think it is from that. Glad it wasn't a faulty test.

[@ashurgeorge4604]

This video helped me, I'm going through the whole gh kh ph debacle right now with my planted aquarium. This deserves a follow up video of how to dose acid and alkaline buffers to get the PH GH KH you need for your planted aquarium~!

[@ModMyRide]

Im surprised driftwood wasn’t mentioned to lower pH. Is it not that effective? I always hear people talk about it.

[@kidwolf0015]

If your kh is very high, *NOTHING* will truly permanently change your pH until you find a way to safely lower it without extreme pH swings... My entire gallon of oak leaf extract is still deep pink on the Tetra strips... Considering that I'm in Flagler Estates, Florida and using well water, it wouldn't be that shocking if it actually didn't change my ph at all. We have extremely high ph and kh water here. I can't tell from the Tetra strips if the pH is extremely high or moderately high. I probably need to find the high range pH liquid test.

[@chrisinky3]

[@joanfergusonsgirl4774]

Thank you for posting this I’m a pretty new aquarium owner and new at the whole water parameters so GH and KH were a bit of a mind boggler for me 😳 It’s funny, when I started my first aquarium just over two months ago it was the fish I loved and obviously why I decided to get into the aquarium hobby but now I’m finding I’m more into the plant growing side of things and am happy just to have some shrimp and a small school of neon tetra in a planted aquarium. I didn’t really know about the calcium and magnesium thing for the plants (not that there’s really anything wrong with mine) but I’m glade I do now.

[@Y0oisaac]

Ph isn't a huge thing in freshwater unless it's a rarer species or more fragile then others, in which you will definitely know as thw buyer would absolutely tell you

I would love to hear about how to use the calcium test kit I have one and found it very difficult to understand.

[@deborahmcclain8134]

I've used the API calcium test kit - can I help?

[@JustACatLover]

I am having a shrimp tank and i noticed my KH: 3 and GH:11. How do i go about reducing GH and maintaining the current level of KH?

[@allaroundzay6936]

I noticed that one of my plants started to melt away so I looked into test kits and found that everything was fine except my GH and KH. I live in Texas and my water is super hard over here. It’s a 5 gallon tank with live plants, a betta and snails, the water evaporates fast and I top it off with conditioned water.,. Which is just adding more minerals. If I stop doing water changes... that’s supposed to help? But what if I need to top it off 😅

[@troumer]

Generally good advice from Riley, but I'd be cautious about a 25% change, esp. if you've never done something like this. Bettas are pretty hardy, but they're not un-shockable. When I do this, I mix RO/distilled water with tap water (about 2:1). If I'm doing more than a 15% water change, I add half of the new water, wait about 90 min and then add the rest. Also, you can get RO filtered water at many grocery stores much cheaper than distilled water. Most natural grocery stores and even some HEB's charge 50 cents/gallon if you bring in an empty water jug.

[@gnulmd2]

I need some advice. Just started to use seachem prime, stability, matrix and pristine in my 10L tank for betta fish. pH has always been around 6.5-7. However, noticed that pH is 5.6 today, do not understand what could have caused this. 50% water change done every 5days but filter sponge not changed. I opened up my filter and it has a very strong chemical smell of matrix and filter sponge is dirty.However, I understand from the seachem website that these products do not alter pH. Appreciate some pointers.

[@ArchangelHornet]

[@jlathem56]

Irene HELP! I have a couple questions. I have been looking for someone that understands the HIGH pH and LOW gh conundrum! All the symptoms you describe in this video is what I have been trying to work through now for over a year with little to no luck. I have been keeping and breeding fish for a very long time and have never run into a city water system like this. Normally I just kept fish that went well with whatever water I had at the time. But this little farming town I live in now actually has a metropolitan RO system. So I am sure this is the reason I have such LOW gh but have never seen a high pH that wasn't associated with a high gh... so this has me puzzled. My pH out of the tap is a consistent 8.2 with a gh of < 2 degrees! After watching this video I know I at least need to test the levels of calcium and magnesium... Questions: 1. Are there any other minerals I need to test for? 2. Since you have gone through the same situation can you tell me if there a resource for how to fix or at least troubleshoot this water situation?

[@bern585]

This beautiful lady and all of her intelligent smart conversation makes my head spin, I think I'm in love :-)

[@MridulSinghMusic]

I have a tip for you, Irene (and anyone else who can find this useful). If you feel like it is a hassle to repeatedly cap the small test tube to test KH and GH, you can use the measuring glass sold at Aquarium coop (or the ones you get with medicines [just make sure it's clean]), fill it up with 5 mL tank water, and spin around the glass each time you add a drop. I find that much easier than adding the one drop, capping the tube, inverting, and repeating the process.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Great tip! I'm so going to try this.

[@garydsouza2335]

Hi my salt water reef tank KH is 14 is that to high ...what do you add to bring it down, Ph is 8.3..temp 25.3

[@andrewspeedyatkinson]

Thanks grate video

[@TBizzell68]

Thanks! This video eases my mind, when I first started my aquarium the ph was 8 maybe a shade higher. I kept adding ph lowering solution and didn’t get much of a change at all, the next morning it would nearly the same. Then I did a kh and gh test and found my water to be 140 gh and 240 kh. I’m in the process of doing 20% changes every other day with RO water. I’m on a well and I just want to lower it slightly. Mine is a 40 gallon community tank with tetra and some corydora.

[@FirstLast-numba1]

I love her

[@noelbrucker135]

My tip for the test strips (other than the one about cutting in half :) My colors/printing on the label was always wearing off or getting wet. I open up the label to the chart you want, then seal/cover it open with clear packaging tape. Keeps me from fumbling with it with one hand and keeps it from wearing off. Great video as always, Irene, from a fellow Coloradan :)

[@sayurasem]

For GH and KH can you use 10ml of water instead and get more accurate reading? Increments of 0.5 degree per drop instead of 1 degree per drop.

[@christhorney]

pure water at 7.0?? umm.. really bad phrasing their, my rain water=6.4ish. RO water around 6 and demineralized water around 5.8. Pure water by definition is slightly acidic and distilled water will test out around pH 5.8. i dunno that "pure water" statement kinda triggered me when your trying to be educational you need to get your facts, and the way you phrase them, correct because the people who want to learn will pick up the little phrases, and give them the wrong idea about everything your trying to educate

[@spiraleena9237]

A quick google search and you will find literally hundreds of websites that say “ pure water is neutral at a ph of 7.0”. RO water is 7 straight out the filter, but since it has exactly no buffer ( KH) whatsoever it grabs CO and starts to acidity unless you add something to it. Rain water is acidic bc it mixes with gases, like sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide in the sky. ( again no buffers remember). Pure water is ready to absorb something bc it’s basically empty and doesn’t often resist naturally. Whether it’s minerals/KH/GH from rocks from the earth or acids from the air, there is always something else in there. Yet again and again aquarist, and scientist alike, refer to pure water having a neutral 7.0. And that’s fine for something like this, I’d say.

[@GirlTalksFish]

@@spiraleena9237 Thanks for explaining it for me! That's exactly what I would've said. 🤗

[@raveG244]

@@spiraleena9237 You are right. Irene meant pH neutral water, which is between 6.6 and 7.3. And, pure water can under no "definition" be slightly acidic because then it wouldn't be pure water anymore. Anyway, and not related to the question, can you explain why Irene's pH tests fairly high with such low KH? There is so little buffering capacity that I would expect acidification (and swings). Is it natural alkalinity that drives the pH up?

[@binaryatlas]

Long story short. Got a 10 gal tank from petsmart. All fish died. Went to local pet store was told ph was too high i had to get it down. used ph down and got it to 7 then it would go back up the next day to 8. Lady said you need to replace your gravel with what i sell here petsmart raises your PH. Did that and lowered PH again next day it was back to 8. Lady says did you get and decorations remove those. Did that and next day PH was back to 8. Lady says ok your going to need to stop using your tap water. I go and get distilled water and raise its ph to 7. Next day it goes up to 8. I am reading like this video states that the ph number is not as important as stable ph. What can i do to stabilize it?

[@Varvitski]

Really excellent video. Thanks. Subscribed.

[@SuperSablei]

I have two pea puffers in a tank with multiple anubias and java fern plants. According to the Tetra test strips, my GH is ~300 PPM, my KH is ~180 PPM, and my pH is ~8.4. Are these ideal parameters or should I be working on fixing them?

[@XusernamegoeshereX]

Thank you! This stuff has been driving me crazy trying to figure out. You explained it so well

[@kaydogcreations]

how do i lower my GH? right now I have Guppies in the tank and Im not really sure how to lower the GH cuz its a smaller tank, and I'm assuming where I live the water hardness is bad because the GH is over 320ppm. Please, if you could recommend something that would do good in small tanks, I would super appreciate it. i have a couple tanks, one 1.5 gallons, and one 8 gallon tank that is not set up, but I definitely would like to know if there's something I can do to lower the hardness of my water. I seen a water softner pillow, but that's too large for my 1.5 gallon tank.

[@queenneptune2456]

I am new and started with all female guppies. I did a 50% water change one day and my ph swung to 6.6 and my GH and KH are high keeping it stable. My fish have been swimming weird and sometimes gasp for air. I regret the large water change and will fo 25% for now on but my Ph can't correct itself. I'm scared for my fish and feel if I can't resolve it soon then I'll have to take my fish back before they may die or something🥺
