I was told that axies prefer salt added to their water, but the information I read on the Axolotl site seems to indicate that is only necessary when dealing with soft water. Our water here is both hard and alkaline.
pH 7.4-7.8
8.5+ GH
10.5 KH
Should I be adding salt to this water?
Incidentally, I used Quick Dip 6 in 1 test strips by Jungle to get the above figures. I do NOT like these things as the chart is next to impossible to get anywhere near an exact reading on. So I have no idea how accurate the above numbers are. I plan to get a decent test kit when I go to Tucson next time. Now that I've tried these test strips, I WAY prefer the test tube kits.
