Best Answer

The hardness of your water would depend on the species of fish you intend to keep. African Cichlids need hard water with a very high GH/KH (total hardness) but fish from the Amazon need soft water with very low GH/KH (total hardness). I would advise you to always independently research what water parameters are required for whatever species you wish to keep.

Why Is the dH of a aquarium so important?

The dH is the measurement of KH which should be above 4.5 dH. The KH can determine the stability of the PH in your tank. If it's too soft, you may need to add crushed coral to your filtration, too hard and you may need peat moss; this is all dependant on the type of fish you keep
