As long as you are monitoring the tank, you're doing pretty good in keeping the hardness at that level. How many days in between water changes? Volume amount versus Tank amount?

Thank you Rocksor. I am doing weekly water changes, changing approx 33%, tank is 40 gallon breeder tank. Only fish in tank is flowerhorn who's 5 inches currently.

One thing to I should log is, when I added seachem safe in to tank, fish ate some, not sure if he threw back anything, he pooped within 10-15 minutes and was breathing slightly heavily, he looks okay this morning.
