Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ 200G

Great product!

Since I use RO water a lot in my aquariums and new shrimp tank, I needed something to put the minerals by critters, especially shrimp, need back into the water at a specific level. This was easy to measure and dissolved easily into my RO water I replace in the tank after a water change.

Item came quickly and does what i need it to. Cherry shrimp seem happy with putting some of this into their tank.

I keep neocaridina aka red cherry shrimp. I found out too late that my well water has very low GH and very high KH - not good for these critters. My shrimps were slowly perishing and few babies were surviving. I bought this stuff and over a period of weeks began raising the GH of my tank. Now, a few months later, I don't tend to see dead ones often and the population seems to be increasing. Knock on wood!If you are in a similar situation, this seemed to work for me: I did one gallon changes with remineralized RO water once a week. After removing a gallon of tank water, I added in the remineralized water one pint at a time over the course of a day. I've read the shrimps are very sensitive to water parameter changes and I didn't want to shock them. Now I do water changes every other week with this method.I top off the tank with plain water, as the minerals remain after evaporation.I measure the powder as follows - requires a TDS meter. I read that my target TDS for cherry shrimp would be about 180. So I slowly added powder to a gallon of water until my TDS pen read 180, then I tested the GH/KH to make sure I was at my target. Now I just add a bit of powder to my bucket of RO water, measure the TDS, and then add more powder until I get to my target. If you have a sensitive scale, you could figure out the exact amount of powder you needed to get to your target TDS. I have found that sometimes the powder doesn't dissolve entirely right away, so the TDS will creep up a bit after about an hour. Hope that makes sense and hope someone finds it helpful!TL/DR: works good

Great to keep your shrimp healthy and happy

Yea.... It's not that easy to figure it out how much should I put in the tank. Maybe I'm dump 😵‍💫

Best thing about this product is it dissolves completely? I’ve used equilibrium and other products that leave sediment in the bottom of my RO tank no matter how I mix it.

The media could not be loaded. Had shrimp for around 6 months and never really had any breeding. I use RO exclusively as our city water has really never had good results. I knew they were lacking minerals and tried this. After a week I noticed a many of the females had egg saddles and ended up with 50+ baby shrimp in the first month. I dose one scoop for each 5 gallon water change.
