Soothing Shrimp Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 This may help you out for future shrimp as well. http://www.shrimpkeeping.com/water-params/ The only thing I would add to that is when I kept neos under 6gh, they would slowly die off.

chibikaie Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 The API GH and KH tests are done by titration. If you read the instructions, they will explain that you need to count the number of drops it takes for the test solution to change color. It will always change to the same color no matter what your water values are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
