A confusing topic for me for some reason...lol
Would it be better for general plants to have slightly hard water, or is it more beneficial to try to soften it? What I do know is that hardness has to do with how much minerals are in the water, that all plants prefer different hardness levels, that a good portion of them can adapt pretty well, and that it can also affect fish..
This is pretty much what I'm growing (that I can think of right now):
Rotala indica, cardamine, various hygros, some swords, moss balls, ludwigia repens, cabomba, African fern, corkscrew val... lol it's all over the place. I used to have a low light set up which sort of just crashed after 5-6 years or so, so now I'm trying something like a medium set up... Not high light and no co2. I am using some ferts though.
