what a nice canvas you got there. be sure to color it well... by the way ge down the wallpapaer and try to fill the gap with plants and rocks and fishes or such... photos are nice to get ideas from not to have them instead of our plants fishes or decorations

I don't know what I'm going to stock right now. I had a list, but recent water reports from the city show a KH of 2.5 and a GH of 28ppm. (Link to report).

Most of the fish I was looking at need a 7 or so KH... I've been trying to figure out how to raise the KH without effecting my pH. I think I need to do it with crushed coral. Would love your input, but will probably double post the question in the fish section.

Calcium and Magnesium (GH) might be a bit too low for a few fish but I wouldn't worry about Alkalinity at all with most. I would be doing joyous back flips if I had your source water.
