Hi Mark, i have a question about the tds pen with automatic temp adjustment It is 342 at 25 degrees.( kalibrated) My OR water rested for 24 hours was 19 degrees. I make that water 145 tds. And now 24 hours later in my aquarium the water is 23 degrees and my tds is 154! Do i have to warm my OR water til 23 degrees and then measure til tds 145? Or is this Ok? I have no shrimp in the water at this moment. Sonja
LikeLike
Hello Sonja, In the tank the tds will be different slightly because you have things in there that change tds ,like soil ,rocks etc the only thing I do know is make my water to 150 ppm and do 25% water change on every tank once a week.. I dont really every measure tds in the tanks..when I do they are roughly the same.

Hy mark. My name Rahul from India and I am a kind of in shrimp hobby. I had a doubt.
1.Does the shrimp tank( planted) need air circulation ( I mean by using air stone) all 24×7?
2. If it need, does it affects the plants?

Great! I was thinking lava stones on the bottom, siporax on top and finish with soil. Which is best to put in a bag I think? Does that sound good? What size of Tupperware do you recommend for a 40 liter tank? Now let’s hope that I can do it with my Aquael Pat Mini pumps instead of a powerhead. Thanks, I am all excited 😀

Hi Mark, I have been dosing with Hydrogen Peroxide once a week for 2 weeks now and I am not noticing any real difference in the algae. How often should I be dosing do you recommend doing it more often? And at what point should I stop dosing if it doesn’t work?
Thanks

You should notice a difference after the first treatment, algae should start to turn white, if its not you should double check your calculations maybe you are not adding enough.
