Please monitor how much mineral you're dosing during water change. Could be too much. Maybe can try to dilute your tank water with water change using RO water. But do it gradually (less volume/frequent change) until desired GH is reached. Just my 2 cents.

If full RO water, what mineral additives you use? May have overdose. To reduce gh , change tank water with RO water.

I didn't see the crs molting for quite sometime. I am every time change water put in tds up and mineral to up GH. I may start nit put mineral to up GH but only tds up.. Do you have any comment ?

GH scale with Tds, if you want keep Tds high but reduce GH, You can use Tds up only product like mosura Tds up.

Shrimp tank , you need to do water change and control feeding, and encourage good Bacteria growth to ensure a healthy environment.

Nice to hear that there are lots of baby shrimp Tq the reason why i use aircond because i have multiple tank in my room planted tank and shrimp tank using 1hp and temp set at 25 and my room is pretty small also so it doesn't take long for the room temp to cool down electric bill wise i think around rm20 extra per month

More over using aircondition can cool few tank at the same time together. BTW, Happy New Year, Happy Holiday.
