JLui83 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 May 5, 2017 -Dosed Seachem Flourish .4ml into the tank for good trace elements and nutrients. According to the dosing on the bottle. 5ml for 60 gal once or twice a week essentially 1 ml for 12 gallons Figured id play it safe and will dose around .4ml every week just to see how everything goes.

I found that it usually takes 3-4 weeks, I've had this 1 shrimp who was berried for 5 weeks, had me worried but still popped out babies!

JLui83 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 hmmm not good. Found 2 mire Dead Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates around 5ppm TDS 130 GH 4 KH 0 Temp 72*F Parameters are good and steady. not sure whats going on but I'll do a small water change maybe 10-15% and see what the deal is. Only thing new is i added a very little amount of bacter AE to the tank. This shouldnt be the source of deaths could it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLui83 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Just got some Mosura BT-9 Put a very little bit in the tank to help out with the beneficial bacteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undershrimp Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Does your tap have chloramines? I ask because those purewaterclub filters do not say they remove them or at least I didn't see it listed on the product page. You could try checking for ammonia right from your RO system, sometimes it can get through if already in the tap with the coconut carbon filter as a catalytic carbon filter could be needed. Noticed some salt water guys having these issues so thought I'd throw them out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
