Can't see anything wrong with that Who says it's too high and why ?

As you have posted in the planted forum I assume you think it may be too high for plants rather then fish.

11 dgh is nothing to worry about at all. Plants generally don't mind GH not even the so called soft water plants. KH is much more of a factor for plants then GH. At 4 degrees for KH it's nigh on perfect.....so as I say I don't anything to worry about.
