My FW 55 Gallon's water is:
GH 20 ppm
KH 40 ppm
pH 7.3
(also, my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are all less than 1.0 ppm, if that...tank is around 83 F)

The pH will vary between 7.2-7.4.
From what I have gathered on the test results, I have 'soft' water, right?

Do I need to be worried about my GH and KH levels?

I have been trying to read as much information as I can, but it gets a little overwhelming & confusing at times.

(In about a week, I am going to be draining a lot of my water & moving the fish and filters to it, while I add flourite, driftwood, and plants to this tank. Then putting that same water back into the tank.)
