KH for planted tank

**markyen** · 9th Oct 2002, 23:30

Hi guys,

I have been wondering what is the normal KH reqiored for planted tanks. do you normally add KH up to maintain the required KH buffer? Is the tap water's KH sufficient?[

Tap water is usually 0 dkH, maybe 2 dkH maximum.
Read the Aquatic FAQ to find out how to increase kH.
Check this too: Potable Water Quality (Typical Values) -- from PUB
