I am about to embark into shrimp keeping and starting with Neocaridina I have had a bad run with TDS meters that I have bought from Amazon and the two I bought came from different suppliers but seemed to be manufactured by the same manufacturer as the were identical in every way. One would not go at all and the other locked on and the battery would not come out.
How important is a TDS meter? I did not see any on the Pro Shrimp site. If the other water parameters are OK do I really need one. If I need one is there any reliable brands out there? I am reluctant to go to Amazon or eBay based on experience. The only other I could find is from the hydroponic outlets in a wand format for £60. There seems nothing in between.
If the TDS meter is so important then why do the LFS not stock them?
