    Hi - I'm just wondering if we have many emersed plants in the tank, will this effectively help reduce the hardness of the water by absorbing the dissolved salts? Rgds

    GH perhaps, since they are absorbing magnesium and calcium as part of micro, slowly not fast as macro nutrient.

    When you mention hardness, are you referring to General Hardness (GH) or Carbonic (or is if Carbonate, KH) Hardness?
