how are my results and how can I make them better for my stripped peacock eel I'm already working on my pH but what about my gH   are my results good or bad for my eels.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!  

Answer
Hello Again,

Well it looks good exept you need to get your pH down to 7.0. 8.5 to 9 is really high for pH. Your results are fine besides you pH I would suggest a powder pH product as these are easier to work with and are pretty effective.

any other questions? let me know.
