Hello All,
Probably going to answer my own question here but nevertheless.....
I am thinking of adding ADA Amazonia to a sump tank for my 40lt PRL shrimp tank. I already have filter sand as its substrate and don't want to change that. The reason for the Amazonia addition is for its buffering effect. I don't want it as an actual tank substrate itself due to food particles being tapped plus the tank is already up and running and don't want to disturb that.
Question: I know adding the full planned 9kg to a sump in one go is going to send the tank balance into overdrive but what if I added it slowly over a few weeks at about say a 1/4kg at a time. Would that smooth out the blow perhaps. PRL are delicate sensative little critters at the best of times so really unsure if this is a wise planned operation or not. Welcome any input or suggestions here even negative ones.
