Re: [GSAS-Member] Name That Cichlid

Shango,

If you have a test kit, I'd check your tanks at home right now.  I bet
you're already hardening your water to 15 or 20 dGH with the cuttlebone
you've got in your filters.

For my African chichlids the hard water is created by crushed coral and
limestone in the tank decorations.  All that I do for water changes is
siphon and refill from the tap.  The leaching takes care of the rest for
me.  So it really can be a simple problem to deal with if the fish
aren't super sensitive.
