Got it. Thanks, Pau.

The way to determine whether your KH level provides sufficient buffering to your pH would be to watch how much (if any) those two readings drop between water changes. If your water changes replenish the KH sufficiently to keep the pH buffered and stable then you have enough KH and don't need BS.

Make sense?
