colorfan Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If the PH of my water is 6 to 6.5 do even need an active substrate for shrimp tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If the PH of my water is 6 to 6.5 do even need an active substrate for shrimp tanks? If you want it to be stable, yes. If you're maintaining a low KH, your pH will be very unstable and susceptible to pH swings unless it being monitored and controlled or buffered.

wicca32 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 test your kh. if your kh is 2 you will be fine and ph will be stable. if its lower then you will run into issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
