That would give the shrimp some hides and some biological media. Adding lava rocks as well works too. You can also just add another sponge filter. Ultimately, take everything you have and swap over to a 20L aquarium and then go ahead and add a second sponge filter. The problem is likely solved. You can change out more water, but you also have more volume to keep things stable in terms of buffers too! You can always upgrade to a HoB if need be. I think I'll buy an ACO medium sponge filter and start running it in there so when I'm ready for my 20L I'll already have one of my filters packed with BB. I just ripped the band-aid off and tested the water after months of not doing it. Results are good! PH: 7.6 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrates: 40 GH: 12 KH: 3 I'm still going to add the extra filter but I'm happy with what I just saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 That's awesome! 🙂 KH could always be slightly higher, I mean mostly just 1 degree is the range I like to max out at for my water/ph, but it looks really solid for the tank and for the livestock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
