After this week, I realised I have a very basic understanding of water values. I am usually the type of person who needs to understand things to see value in them, but on the case of water chemistry I went with what i was told. I never had any water problems before so I guess in the year and half ive been into fish (seems so much longer) its never been a point on thought. Now I have run into problems I dont understand why things happen.
My questions are firstly basic
What relationship does kH have to pH? (i know low general equals low by why?)
What relationship does kH have to gH and why the difference?
How does very low pH and kH water remain stable and not suffer from large swings?
For say a fish that typically lives in 7.0, 6.5 or 5.0 pH what kH values am i after?
If anyone has any sites that may help me i would appreciate that.
Thanks in advance.

ps. I like and dislike the fact that in this hobby you can be an expert and beginner in the same day. There is so much to learn and like life its never good to think you have learnt everything.
