Your GH should be around 4 - 6. 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.

Do you use full RO water or tap water , if use tap water , test tap water gh and Tds.
If full RO water, what mineral additives you use? May have overdose.
To reduce gh , change tank water with RO water.

Yes, i am use RO water. The GH is high and I believe it is due to I put lot mineral at subtrate which causing GH high. 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.

Bro arrow, I am wonder can mosura bio plus add a teaspoon to tank as food for shrimplet ? I am worry it is negative effect later turn water parameter become bad.

Another question , how to maintain the tank water in good condition ? I experience before after sometime water become problem and kill number of shrimp...
I visit the shop and the sales person saying for good condition it is require always ensure the tank good with put in something eliminates bad smell ..

How proper maintain tank to prevent disaster cause by water condition ?

Bio plus are baby shrimp food, it promote biofilm in tank.
Shrimp tank , you need to do water change and control feeding, and encourage good Bacteria growth to ensure a healthy environment.

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

I think if using chiller would be also costing more or less the same amount. More over using aircondition can cool few tank at the same time together.

BTW, Happy New Year, Happy Holiday.
