Glad I can help. Yes, the c stands for a cup. It does seem a lot when compared to the other ingredients but it works.

This is what I use. 1c CSM+B 1/4c KNO3 2T KH2PO4 1T K2SO4 1c Clay powder Step 1- Mix ingredients together Step 2- Add a little bit of water and stir. If there's enough water it will turn into clay. Now you can either flatten it out and cut it to the size you want or take little pieces out of...

I've made root tabs with my PPS pro ferts. I didn't use the same recipe and I added clay powder. I can post the recipe tomorrow if you'd like.

Some good floating plants to add are water Sprite and frogbit. My shrimps like to hang off the roots and leaves. Try lowering the temp down to 75 and see if it helps.

Did you check ammonia, nitrite and nitrates? Are you using excel for your plants? Some people don't recommend using it in shrimp tanks.

Forgot to add that they should be in a school of 6.

i would go for Pygmy cories because of your tank size. Is the tank a grow out tank or long term tank. Corydoras don't eat algae, you can get them sinking shrimp pellets or any type of bottom feeder food.

Get a school of cories, they'll eat the leftover food.

So I can get 10 at a time if the quarantine tank is well filtered and planted? If so I will be getting them this weekend because my QT is also well filtered and has a lot of plants. I really appreciate you guys for sharing your tips and experiences.

Here's a picture of the tank they'll be in. Not a great picture but there's 3 rows of jungle Val in the back, small Amazon sword in the corners, some crypts, bacopa and some Anubias on each side of the tank.

I'll get 6 at time then. Is 2 weeks quarantine time long enough or should it be more?

Forgot to add I have a 10 gallon that I will be using as a quarantine how many cardinals can I put in there at a time? 10?

My tank went through a mini cycle when I over cleaned my filter. That was 2 weeks ago, at the time I had 3 Bettas and an oto in there. I tested the tank last Tuesday and ammonia and nitrites were at 0 so on Friday before I went to get some fish, I tested the tank again to make sure everything's...

How do you introduce a group of fish without causing an ammonia spike? I'm looking to add 20-30 Cardinal tetras in my 55 gallon but I'm not sure if I can add all of them at once.

2 black moors, 2 common plecos, betta and guppies in a 1 gallon.
