mproia Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 How do you guys raise your KH? It seems my KH is essentially 0. I use distiller water and Mk Breed Blue Diamond to reminieralize. I'm looking for something that will easily do this with some control over the level. Can it be done without buying anything too expensive or just adding something to the filter compartment? Thanks!

TheGardenofEder Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Most shrimp don't need kh what are you keeping and what's your target lvl and what's your gh and tds as well it matters for which product to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Simple way - just use baking soda NaHCO3. But it contained Na+ ions which better avoid in your shrimp tank. CaHCO3 would work much better if you can get it somewhere. Ca+ is beneficial for your shrimps will help moulting but will also increase GH, HCO3- and CO3 2- will increase KH. If you don't want increase gh in the same time use KHCO3 or K2CO3 salts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping Bloody Mary Shrimp. GH is maybe 2 to 3. My API Kit is hard to read. TDS unknown at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
