Ya a few percent only though 5% if I remember and new water is acually ro water so should be save but is the other 95% I curious about XD
It's a cut and paste from Wikipedia.
Until today, I still think very hard reading periodic tables.
But ain't we using NEW water mixed in our water already?

Hi all just to share my water change method.
Tank 1.5ft cherry shrimp. HOF dolphin H500
Direct tap water into a bottle with indication dose with bio top around 0.5ml for shrimps and direct into tank.
Weekly change 2liter of water.
Test GH and TDS 1month twice.
Now my tank have full of shrimplets and 3 berried mama
Total adults shrimp is 9 female cherry fire red and 1 male rili.
Once my mama release all shrimlets the next few mama will get berried again.
Have try before topping up water using tap water, over time the GH will rise.
1ft Tank Sulawesi.
Water change method is the same as above but using drip method.
All tank dose liquid carbon daily 5drops - 15drops
Cheers
Enjoying every mins of the process. Happy Shrimping.
I only top up with distilled water for my two feet tank. Tank have thirty plus crs bds fire red. Around thirty plus babies . Mum also berries once they release the babies. Alot of frogbits. Minimum feeding.
Hi Chansl,
guess what, i did not feed the shrimp for the past 4-5 days and there are no deaths, and i did not change water since thursday, guess the enviroment stabilise, i will just top off with water too, later will do a nitrate test and let you know
Recently met a bro who told me his friend mentioned PRIME kill shrimps.
Well, I have been using PRIME for about 10years and has no qualms. I believe it all boils down to the usuage of this powerful dechlorinator.
Just to share how I use Prime-
Whenever I bought PRIME, Ill pour into a empty old GENESIS bottle. Genisis bottle is a drip container by the way.
A change of about 10-20percent of the tank water equals 10litres there about and I only use a few drops of PRIME to dechlorine the incoming water, which is usually straight from tap.
I know a lot pple tend to follow according to the usuage of what PRIME recommend. But you have to real careful. Anyway for those hobbyist who suffer high ammonia in your tank, you can use PRIME to lower it as well. But then same thing applies, have to becareful with the dosage.
I use about 3 drops (using drinking straws) into about 10 litres of aged water. So far so good.Originally Posted by Spid
I change about 10% of the water weekly.
I am using Prime dechlorinator too, and my CRS are doing fine and breeding.
I agreed with what Spid said.
It is not Prime that kill shrimps, more likely it could be due to overdosage.
I've once used an expired Prime dechlorinator when doing WC for my guppy tank, confirm not overdosage....... all my guppy died
i dont really do waterchange, just top up..seems fine to me
For the record, I did not perform any WC for my office shrimp tank for ... *drum roll* ... 2 years!!! ... only water top up every 1-2 weeks
... always look at the bright side of life

Joe ... you do indeed have a very nice nano moss planted tank there.. care to share what fertilisers and filter you have there? doesnt seem to have any Co2 supplementation there ?

i dont siphon nor change water.. i just top up (tap water + batax 3in1)
add around 5-10% due to evaporation...
so far there isnt any visual casualty.... maybe died in the plants i dont know..
I change about 10% using water from my 5ft tank.
