No TDS meter. Maybe it was the acclimation process. Bummer

Will my rodi soften the water of the tap? I have been using it lately. Also, there is so much algae in the tank, is this just from my powerful light?

I began with 6 blue dream shrimp and they have since dwindled down to one surviving shrimp. Water quality is good with the normal parameters at 0. My water is pretty hard and was wondering if this is the cause of the deaths. My light is very powerful for the 10 gallon and has spurred a lot of...

My recently setup shrimp tank has a major algae problem. It is a 10 g and was cycled with filter media from mature tank. No ferts have been added to tank and water changes are regular. There are two types of algae, a green bushy one and a brown stringy one. The green algae, as seen in picture...

I was going to move fish into hospital "tank" because I was under impression that hypo was not for use in display tank

How did you end up removing all the algae and preventing it from returning?

New shrimp tank is being setup with tawian moss as a plant I have. Filter media from another tank was added. Light is a 3w led with 10 LEDs. No ferts or tabs have been added and moss is very different from pictures online. Moss is very bushy and I have tied it down twice yet it is still insane...

Would ya look at that! Shipment arrived today with a bonus of frogbit. How do you make one of these nano trees? Could I cut some existing driftwood into shape and add moss onto it?

$15 for the lot plus shipping

I recently set up an old 10g tank suited for shrimp. I threw in some media from my cycled 20g tank and was soon going to add some blue velvet shrimp and want to make sure water is sustainable for the invertebrates. Parameters: PH: 6.6-7.0 GH: 1 KH: 3 Ammonia: 0 Nitrate/Nitrite: 0 Any issues...

Are you willing to sell the moss separately?
