    First time crystals

    You can set up an RO unit to run of a hose pipe / washing machine tap so no permanent plumbing needed. This is what I do. There is a really good You Tube video on this but I cannot link to it whilst at work.

    keeping a lid on Nerite snails.

    I've had several Nerites go for a wander on the outside of the tank. Not too often but they do do it. I just pop them back in.

    Amano dead after 4 days

    Sorry, I should have phrased that better. In earlier posts you were comparing the Ottos behaviour to the Guppies. What I meant was that by the time you compared the Otto to the Guppies they had already been in the tank for a few days so would have gotten used to the CO2 level at the time of the...

    Amano dead after 4 days

    The Guppies would have acclimatised to the CO2 level over a period of time. The Otto may be struggling with the level at the moment and I suspect it was too much for the shrimp. I would do a large water change to bring the levels down and see if it perks up.

    Daphnia live food harvesting link

    I just have a tub in the garden. It naturally filled with rain water and not long after the daphnia etc turned up. I have done absolutely nothing to it and I know have hundreds of daphnia and other organisms in there. The tub is full of algae on the sides mind you.

    Diatoms, shrimp, snails and EasyCarbo

    I would always try to attack the root cause of the issue. Far better to try and eliminate it than cover it up IMO :) But, shrimp and snails are nice although snails are perhaps not too common in tanks on this forum.

    Diatoms, shrimp, snails and EasyCarbo

    I would start by reducing lighting period to 5 or 6 hours.

    Diatoms, shrimp, snails and EasyCarbo

    Diatoms are down to too much light. What lights do you use and how long are they on for?

    Good to know :)

    CRS new tank

    I don't know who he is. Is he on here? I thought it was a great video and made setting up an RO system real easy.

    CRS new tank

    I use this one - 4 Stage 50 Gallon Per Day Reverse Osmosis System with DI - Osmotics Water Filtration DI filter is not essential but does give a zero TDS read and if you decide to go down the marine route at some point it would be handy. It can be removed if not needed.

    CRS new tank

    You can buy a standard RO filter and with a couple of cheap extras you can make it into a portable system so that it does not have to be permanently plumbed in. See here -

    Oats?

    I fed my RCS in this manner with Supermarket oats and they enjoyed them. No issues. :)

    What Autumn stuff can I add to my shrimp tank

    I use Alder cones, oak leaves and beech leaves. Oak leaves take a while to break down which is nice and the shrimp seem to enjoy them.

    Snails from the MATRIX0:)

    Looks like a Tadpole snail (Physa Acuta) to me. These are probably the most common hitch hiking snails.
