[xiaofeng90]

As my question is,

I use before insect pesticide in my room and i lost nearly half and all shrimplet gone, may i know will perfume cause the same effect too ?

[Navanod]

Should not be as bad. No reason why perfume should have toxins in it.

I did try spraying perfume on lizard and ants and they were burned. So better play safe.

When you touched insecticide or perfume bottles, remember to wash your hands thoroughly and don't touch the water until overnight. It takes a while for the toxic in your hands to evaporate after washing your hands. Shrimps are very senstive creatures, their death reasons varies and sometime people can't really tell the reason except to do WC to dilute the toxic in water. I also suspect your tank is quite new too - 2 months?

Oh oh...
I'll never risk on that.
Any thing....including perfume,insecticide,window spray cleaner...anything that spray will be kept far far away from tanks.

the same goes for me..no spray products comes near the tanks...even at times when my domestic helper fry chill(chilli oil vapour) , I will ask her to close the kitchen door..

Those spray things, aerosol based.
It's a no no around shrimp tanks.

A bro we know lost 99% of his crs due to bug spray.

I guess one way to manage this issue is to have tank covers, especially if it is something unavoidable due to location etc..
Will need to get one for myself soon too =="

Ya the tank was cycle for 2month , after i added the active carbon so far no more death but is it a need to remove the active carbon ?

Once your tank is stablilised should be safe to take it out but leave it there for couple of months also no harm.
Hope your FR spawn and cover for the lost...hahaha

Active carbon have a lifespan...
It's highly recommended to remove on the period stated on the instruction.
If I didn't remember wrongly...Sera brand active carbon last for max 3-4 weeks...and must be remove after that recommended period.
As It will lost the efficiency in absorbing toxic in due of time...

It's similar to those RO cartridges....carbon block where it is needed to replace after certain period.

[felix_fx2]

Erm. Active carbon will leach stuff out after it cannot absorb.

Yup..this is what I heard...
Toxic will release back...but don't know how true.

In theory it cannot leech more than it has absorbed if the amount of stuff is not being continuously produced.
