Here's some parameters to check
Temperature
GH
KH
Many add alot of CRS supplements (old sea mud, tonics, etc)
Hi all,
Got a question, my tank has reached to end of it cycle, nitrite zero, nitrate spike to about 80ppm. Ive done a 30% water change, and will continue for about twice / three times a week till nitrate drops till <25ppm.
What should i do before i add CRS? My tank is going to be CRS/ Otos/ Nirite snails. Should i place a batch of Malayan shrimps/yamato shrimps to clear up the algae left from the nitrate spike? Should i be adding anything to the water? I want to have the tank fully prepared before i add these sensitive shrimps in.
Any advice from pros out there? Will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi all,
Thanks for the advise. Ive done a check on GH and KH. GH was at 18, manage to lower it to 11 over 2 seperate WC over the week with distilled water. Will keep up with the WC until GH lowers to <6. Will adding water softening pillows help?
PH: 6.4
GH:11
KH: 4
Ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 25-30
temp: 24 degrees
I'll post a picture once i have the shrimps up and running in the tank =D
THANKS ALL
