    Shrimp for years then 3 new cherries die on filter pipe?

    sounds strange. is there a chance that they have died and the inflow has just caught them? mine sit on the inlet to clean now and then. not really struggling to get away.

    cant keep CRS!!!

    thanks mate. itll be interesting to see what they say
  19. samc

    cant keep CRS!!!

    thats interesting could be why my DC is allways over when im hardly putting ang co2 in the tank. im gonna try leaving the co2 for a while then when i get some more see how they go. maybe with shrimp if you have co2 injection your best off not dosing at all

    cant keep CRS!!!

    i didnt think EC added any ppm of co2 i just thought it added carbon. hope you can get things right for when you get yours clark
  21. samc

    cant keep CRS!!!

    temp of the tank is about 20deg i didnt think it woud be co2 as not much was getting to the bottom TBH i think ill trya couple of amanos soon without dosing EC and see how they get on and ill also lower the CO2. im starting to think it was a combination of both co2 and EC thanks LD
  22. samc

    cant keep CRS!!!
