    Anyone knows any crude/DIY method to lower down Water Hardness ?
    And is there any cheap way where I can monitor Hardness constantly ?

    water change, water change.
    you are living in singapore, right? so i don't think the water you are getting is very hard. what's the kh of your water?

    the kh don't fluctuate if you don't do anything to your tank. testing the water after every water change will be sufficient. after a few water changes you will roughly be able to predict the water hardness in you tank.

    Errr... which hardness? KH or GH?
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Was in Singapore ... till ... nevermind ...
    I guess should be total hardness. As long my cory is Happy.
    Newater .. hmmm .... I see alot of Taiwanese shops selling filtration system for the Tap. The setup quite elaborate to filter them.
    Speaks well on the water quality probably.[]

    High total hardness is not a bad thing. Read this from the rec.aquaria.freshwater.plants newsgroup.
