I'm using the petco real ocean water and I have good flow and my parameters are
Ph:8.2
Ammonia:0-.25
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:0
And I do a water change about every 2 weeks
Do you have a HOB filter or fuge? If I were you I would do a water change (preferably like 25%) and throw in a bag of phosguard! And then do another in like 2-3 days
Cut back feeding to every 3 days or so for a while and do weekly water changes until you get the nutrient issue under control. Vacuum out what you can with each water change.
Somehow the nutrients got in the water. Whatever you are adding to the tank must be removed with water changes. You aren't adding any food at all for the shrimp? How long do you think they will last without food?
Shrimp eat algae and right? And no ice read that it's bad to use Tap water but I don't have enough money to buy and ro/di filter I'm using premixed saltwater from petco
No. Shrimp do not eat algae for the most part. They eat meaty foods. I have seen the pick at nori from time to time, but they are not going to be able to live on hair algae and cyanobacteria. If they did, you wouldn't be having a problem with it.
