Questions from newbie
Hi,
I'm a newbie at planted tank. So, here are a few simple questions:
- I bought a JBL GH test set, would this measure KH as well? Tried it on the tank water (after 2 teaspoon of KH up from Nature) and still can't figure how the color is supposed to turn from red to green according to instruction; it was never red in the 1st place after putting in the drops.
- Should I go get the KH test set instead? Then is GH of any use for planted tanks?
- Those $1.50 plants at LFS may not have roots, so do I plant the whole tub into the sand and remove the plastic tub/floss when it starts rooting?
- Where can I get more 'mature' plants with roots and hopefully in better shape than those in LFS?
