Neos in Woodstock Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm a new member and a new shrimp keeper. I didn't find anything that addresses my concerns. I'm using both RO and distilled water (in different tanks) and adding SaltyShrimp Shrimp Minerals GH/KH+ for neocaridina. I add the additive until I reach a TDS of 180-200 but my pH is way out of range (7.8-7.9 versus the 7.2 that the breeders recommend). If I add the mineral per instructions (1 level one level spoon to 10 liters of water) my pH is over 8.0! Is this "normal"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShrimpfather Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I use only RODI and Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ for my neos too, almost 3 years now. MY pH is usually 7.4-7.6, i've never followed the instructions, when i first looked into reminerilizers I saw a few that mentioned the instruction dosage was off, so it was suggested to me just to mix to a TDS of 200-220 and it's been fine. Are you having any shrimp losses or just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
