  1. Got any sort of rock in the tank? That first thing I’d do is test your water out of the tap then let some sit for a day or two In a bucket or something and test it again ph can change dramatically after it comes out of the tap so that can give you a baseline
  2. Do you have some way of testing ammonia? You likely have some and that probably what is making the fish stressed
  3. The only one that has any real difference imo is Safe because is a powder it does the same thing but is much cheaper in larger tanks and impossible to measure one’s in smaller ones lol
  4. Personally never really understood this salt itself is just empty tds if you want minerals added minerals stuff like all for reef is basically just kh gh and trace elements without the salt or stuff like flourish again just trace elements so I don’t know as for what salt to add regular aquarium salt is just salt you’ll need something with trace elements the packaging should say if it has stuff other than salt in it
  5. They will adapt to almost anything as far at kh and gh goes I’ve kept them in my very soft water and I know people who keep them in liquid rock they do good regardless. keeping your water as close to your tap as is best with them because your going to be doing lots of water changes lol
  6. You said it suddenly went up what was it before? if my math is right (and it’s completely possible it’s off lol) you should get a gh of roughly 600 plus whatever is in your tap water since you basically going to get 40%of whatever the bucket says you’ll get at 1.030
  7. What’s the gh of your tap water after it’s been mixed with the salt and what salt are you using
  8. Just to mention don’t feed the fish for a while almost all ammonia comes from feeding so that should help it go down faster
  9. AllFishNoBrakes and Tony s thank you both as for what I’m trying to accomplish I just was curious to try them just because lol I think I’ll just set up a dedicated tank for them at some point in the future something small
  10. I was just wondering if shrimp are a possibility in my tank I’m not married to the idea so if not it’s fine the tank: ph 6.4 kh 0 gh 5 or 6 I have a decent amount of salt in my water from the tap around 100 or so ppm to the fish are honey gourami lamp eye killifish a baliverne ram and a bristlenose pleco there’s lots of options out there so I just want to get some options
  11. The question I have is why change something that’s working there’s nothing technically wrong with low kh/ph so why try to fix something that’s not broken?
  12. Mine touched the sand a little when the suction cups let go it didn’t seem to matter definitely didn’t let the thing get buried though
  13. Well it’s been a little bit everything is good pretty good and I have a couple new addition a bristlenose pleco and a ram the biggest problem I’m having now is my nitrate has been 0 for a couple weeks so I’m starting to get hair algae on some of the plants I’ve also fed them frozen brine shrimp for the first time the killifish loved it and the new ram loved it the honeys…seemed to not understand it was food lol so far I’m super happy with how it’s going… knock on wood lol
  14. Yes it’s completely waterproof it could be mounted completely sideways if you wanted to
  15. Agreed replace it with something you never need to replace again
