Water Quality

[caudatadude28]

Ok so I went to walmart and bought a kit that tests for nitrate, nitrite, ph, hardness, and something else. My kit says that the nitrite and nitrate is ok but hardness and ph is off. It does not say by how much. It just matches a color or not. It is tap water without chlorine or chlormarine. How does my water sound? Does hardness matter too much? I already looked a caudata culture. I just want people's opinions and facts.

Oh by the way, I am keeping 4 eastern newts in it.

I just want people's opinions and facts.

If you can't tell us what the ph is we can't offer any advice. Newts can tolerate a range of ph values.

The only useful advice at this stage - buy a test kit that shows the ph value.
