Hi all. My water comes from a drilled well 225' down with the last 50' into fractured granite. It is pumped through a 20 micron filter then a 5 micron. it then goes through a UV sterilizer. It is very good to drink but clogs up everything with calcium crust.
Tested with an API kit plus KH and GH.
Results:
PH- 8.0
Ammonia- .25 ppm very slight green tinge on the test.
Nitrite- 0 ppm
Nitrate- 20 ppm
KH- 21 drops = over 214.8 ppm which is 12 drops. So maybe double
GH- 20 drops = over 214.8 ppm which is 12 drops.
My question is will this be OK for Malawi Cichlids and if not what do I need to do. Thanks for your help. Bill
