QUOTE(Adremier @ Jun 4 2010, 12:09 PM) - my shrimp keep dying.. I suspect it could be the same with me. Coz our pipes have a large amount of rust. That's why I use the Seachem Copper/Heavy Metal absorber in a filter. Also, how do you place your canister's outlet? If you place it slightly above water level, you can get lots of surface agitation, which means more oxygen.- Already use the air pump to aerate it. - result is better that not using it, but the shrimp is still dying.. - i did water top off everyday because of the fan and do 20% water change every 2 days.. - i also didn't user any fert. - but still the shrimp is dying. - im using filtered tab water.. - average temp is about 28C to 27C - it is because of the copper in the tap water that cause this?  If you're using amazonia soil, pH should be about 6.5. |

To me, nothing is more annoying in planted tank than getting algae on my moss.
There's a Stiphodon species of fish that eats bba, apparently. I have 2 in my 3ft planted tank. Seems to be working so far. Quite cute too. This post has been edited by SweetPuff: Jun 4 2010, 05:40 PM |
