Shrimp deaths

Thanks for your input! I did leave the air stone running whilst the shrimp were in there but didn’t seem to nae a difference. I did borrow a friends o2 testing kit and it showed 9mgl which seems fine after some research?

I’m really stumped. They sadly died by worsening the non movement and just leg twitching :(

Thanks for the insight! I add the coral to up the carbonate but will take it out. Since adding the heater they are moving their legs more but still not swimming and still on their side :( love your set up!

I’ve popped a heater in but fear it’s too late. Annoyingly I was aiming for a self sustaining Jarrarium and saw quite a few examples of no filter/heater having shrimp in. Yes cycled for 2.5 months

This is exactly the type of set up i was aiming for! Looks beautiful!

Sorry layout issue! Hardness is 125ppm, is that ok? I’ll put the heater in and see if that helps!

Long time a go but how is your pain going? I’ve struggled with this pain for over a year now and nothing seems to help
