Loumeer Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 Could somebody with more experience tell me what is going on here? Quote
tamtep Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 Do you have same issues if your other Blue bolts as well or just one? Could somebody with more experience tell me what is going on here? Quote
Loumeer Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 Well I would not say everything in the tank is going great. I recently lost a blue panda which I am assuming the amano ate because I didn't find her body. The rest of the shrimp appear to be doing alright and I had a shrimp berry last week. So not sure if things are good or bad. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Quote

RyeGuy411 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 Are you using RO with remineralizer? Quote

DETAquarium Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 What is your TDS, and are you dosing any other supplements? Quote
tamtep Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 Your Nitrate is a bit High and that could explain Why ya blue bolt turn to brown. To low it down, do some water change about 15% to 20% then remeasure Nitrate and see if it has low down or not... Another thing, when do water change, I believe your tank is full cover with soil, you must siphonne it properly to remove all dirts and stuffs...

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk I hope you did a water reset. Pretty sure i remember SD saying you must do a water restart when switching reminerlizers. Quote

I don't understand how water remineralizer could have a heavy effect moving from one to another.Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Different water remineralizers have different components that can react with each other negatively or overdose on elements that are required in small amounts. Quote
tamtep Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 If you do it very slowly and take ya time, you won't break it apart. Therefore Your soil will be cleaner and nitrate amount will decrease. Good luck with it! Siphon the aquasoil? Doesn't that go against everything ADA says? Quote
