huh.gif +my tank tests as follows. amm. 0, nitrites 0, ph 7.6, gh around 30ppm belive gf need to betwween 200-4--ppm how do i do that?

If you want to raise it, 50-150ppm is a good amount. You can raise it by adding epsom salts. It is not necessary that you raise the GH - 30ppm is fine.

How is your KH? There are buffers that will raise your KH AND GH.

do water changes to lower it biggrin.gif
