Hi Brother Numbskull... Iron and Manganese is harmful to shrimp??? It will only be harmful when overdose??? What if i follow the correct amount as stated on the instruction???

All i can say is shrimps are very sensitive. Even i off my chiller for 1 day and turn them on after that, the next 1 week i can see a dead shrimp everyday, let alone some concentrated metals in the tank.

how much is considered overdose for the shrimps we have no idea here. Best is, if you want a nice planted tank, dont keep shrimps. If u wanna keep shrimps, dun grow high tech plants.

If u wanna trial and error, by all means but at the end of the day your just burning a big hole in your pocket. (and i'm sure some bros here will flame you for that

jk).
