![]() ![]() I did order one and it'll take a while to get to me tho.Īre the minerals that get added from salty shrimp sufficient for fish as well? I wanted to add some micro fish/otocinclus eventually down the line. I have a liquid master test kit, a gh/ kh test kit but I do not have a tds meter atm. I was just concerned about cycling because someone said my high nitrates could be stalling my cycle? What do I test after adding salty shrimp to see if the parameters are correct? ![]() Ordered some salty shrimp gh/ kh + and it's on the way! Just don't forget to dechlorinate the tap water. And tap water has the right parameters for the beneficial bacteria growth during cycling. No use wasting distilled water during the cycling period. If you have planted substrate, the substrate releases enough ammonia to cycle new tanks.Īfter cycling is complete, you empty the tank and refill with distilled or RO water, remineralise it to the right parameters for the shrimp you are planning on keeping. If you use plain aquarium gravel or sand, dose ammonia during your cycling. Always cycle with no livestock when ever possible. Seachem Equilibrium is better suited to for fish tanks. If you plan to keep Neo Caridina (eg cherry shrimp) or Tiger shrimp than pick Salty Shrimp GH/ KH+.īut if you plan on keeping Caridina shrimp like CRS, CBS, Taiwan bees than pick "Salty Shrimp GH+" (no KH). I already purchased some king shrimp gh/ kh+ and it's on the way. So after finally getting to testing my tap water and finding out about the high nitrate reading I'm just worried about what to do during cycling now. My ammonia and nitrites were converting withing 48 hours or less but started to take longer and was told my nitrates could be the cause. I was trying to lower the nitrate because someone told me it could've stalling my cycle? It does take a while to filter so may be a bit less convenient for larger tanks? I am in UK and have used it for years, it produces the equivalent of RO water the easy way! If you want a really easy water filter jug then you can get a zerowater jug almost anywhere really cheaply in the US as that is where the company is based. ![]() I would go with salty shrimp or dennerle do one as well? There is probably little point remineralising the water whilst you don't have any livestock anyway, unless I am missing something! I would have thought just dechlorinated tap water whilst cycling? Should I continue to use tap water and dose ammonia or really empty it and use distilled during cycling ? How should I proceed with no livestock in my tank atm, just plants, while it is still cycling for a month and a half? ![]() Then I guess I'll buy the salty shrimp gh/ kh + ? Or is something like seachem equilibrium okay? But start looking for a proper remineraliser for shrimps. It will be fine while you are cycling the tank. (Not sure why they would need to add artificial colour). Which is okay for the calcium and magnesium ingredients, but it will mean adding too much of the other ingredients of potassium chloride, potassium iodide, inositol, micellized vitamin D3, strontium chloride, iron EDTA, artificial color. You would have to use a lot more than recommended to maintain the right GH, KH, pH and TDS. It will almost certainly not have the right ratio of Calcium to Magnesium. Aqueon shrimp essentials is designed to replenish the minerals you listed that has depleted in a tank.
