My GH and KH are always higher in big numbers.
See I made a 50 % water change and just finished my GH and KH water test.
KH is 2.8 and GH is 6.7. Why is it always like this for me ? It is the second time since I have gotten my test kit that theyre fairly far from each other in numbers. I was told by a a member that they usually tend to be close.
I still have not made my PH test because i ran out of it but will go get it later on today.

What should I do to boost up my KH. From what I've seen on the grid made in the sticky, My GH is perfect for Growing out but my KH is far under, it should be between 5-8.

thats not bad at all to be honest, My Kh is 3 and gh runs between 5 and 6 and thats on RO water.
I use equilibrium,acid and alkaline buffers from seachem to maintain my gh and Kh at those numbers.

I have tested my PH and it is 7.4 which is from the gris "Growing Out" good.
Can this explain maybe why my discus are SUPER shy and rarely greet me when I come in the room lol. They love hiding in back of my tank.
