Im doing some tds research. I would like anyone who has rcs to post there tds number. However, please only post if you actually know what your tds is. Post your tank size, your weekly wc percentage, aprox number of rcs shrimp, and tds.

I know your like why should I do this for ya lol. Im fascinated with tds how it affects our flora and fauna. Yes I said flora.

I know someone will say - just do a wc everyday and not worry about tds. If you have info.please share your info.

weekly WC ~30%
50-100 RCS
Tank TDS = 157; tap TDS = 114
I occasionally add Montmorillonite clay to increase the calcium content for the snails
