The whole tank has been upgraded to a 55 which I'll make a video for soon. The tap water where I'm at is too hard, Alkaline, and full of chemicals for me to use so I use a mix between RO/DI water and in a pinch Distilled mixed with Spring bottled water. I use Seachem Equilibrium to set the water hardness and Seachem Alkaline and Acid Buffers. Theses are phosphate free buffers so they don't hurt the plants or encourage algae.
glad to see a fish aquarist take care of his/her fish very good,nice fish tank maybe you should add a small plecostomus.you shouldn`t move your fish to a 75 gallon everything looks fine.I see that there is no CO2 so i guees your just using plant food.also how do you get your pH to 6.4 dont use buffers because it has bad stuff and it will kill your plants.If the pH remains below 6.8,only ammonium, which is harmless to the fish wil be present.im a 11 year old kid and im very smart and know alot.[:
