    kH very low - how to raise it for shrimp?

    Thanks, Matt - it certainly does help I have a 60% covering of some kind of water lettuce which is a) keeping the light from being excessive (was well scared off lights by the US crowd who seemed to think that 2 x 39 W on a 300l tank was *way* too much) so the free floating plants are under the...

    kH very low - how to raise it for shrimp?

    WCs - I don't know - I'm checking all parameters daily just now and they seem pretty stable BUT I did add some TPN+ and my understanding is that it's better to do some water changes if you've added anything. I was hoping to get everything stable, but assuming that in the short term, I'd need to...

    Thanks, Matt - gH is between 10 and 12 degrees - I'm assuming that's enough? glad I'm not killing them slowly... :) and hadn't realised *at all* that kH was 'free' hardness and gH was total hardness... I need to do more reading. thank you

    kH very low - how to raise it for shrimp?

    Dear all my 300 litre tank is swimming along nicely (:)) with the exception of the gH/kH values. I've filled it with 2/3 tap water (which starts off at pH 8, gH and kH about 20) with rainwater from a clean, mature roof, which gives me pH 6.5, gH about 10 - and originally kH about 10 also...
