nevesj98 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello shrimpkeepers I currently have a tank with tap water (cycled, with a few shrimps) everything is going okey but not the gh and since i want my shrimps to have the most ideal water parameters possible im gonna make the change to RO water but the deal is i dont know how to do it. Should i put the shrimps in another tank, fill the one i have with RO water let it cycle , then add the shrimps? Have a nice day ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Net out all the shrimp into a separate container. Siphon water till 2-3cm away from substrate. Add RO water and mineralizer into tank. If u added mineralizer into RO water beforehand, you don't have to wait a few hours. Wait a few hours, acclimate shrimp and add some bacteria boosting product like Stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Poopians pretty much nailed it. If your filter is already well seeded, IMO you can skip adding Stability, but I suppose it couldn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think it is, has been runing since august, with consistent cleaning and water changes as well The worst that could happen is a mini cycle. Don't know what shrimp you have and pH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
