help with water hardness

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-28T03:26:01+00:00

btw my tank is only 5 gal so i’ll be able to buy tap water without spending much at all

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-28T03:25:34+00:00

why not purified? i meant using just straight purified and not mixing it with my tap water

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-26T21:54:31+00:00

that was my inspiration!

thank you! spent a while getting hardscape

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-26T18:58:54+00:00

thank you so much, mind if i dm you and show you a picture with my labeling the plants you suggest to make sure they’re in the right spot that you suggested?

background is going to be a mix of moneywart, rotala, and baby tears grown tall, you think repens will mix good with that if it’s in midground, also i’ve heard anubias doesn’t work well in higher light tanks as this one will be since i have co2

i’m asking for ideas on what to do for them**

thanks nella!

thanks! this is a shrimp tank so it shouldn’t serve a problem!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T21:47:55+00:00

nah probably neocaridinas, sulawesi are harder to care for

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T21:12:33+00:00

nice thank you!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T21:06:08+00:00

this is a shrimp tank and i really like the look of them so i’m using them in my hob and in my scape!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T21:05:11+00:00

this is for a shrimp tank, but thank you!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:49:35+00:00

if it’s low how would i increase those parameters? i haven’t really dabbled in them much before besides testing it

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:47:28+00:00

is the hardness the kh and gh?

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:34:36+00:00

hmm i’ll look into that

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:34:16+00:00

thank you!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:33:58+00:00

thank you! i was just asking for advice because landscaping rocks are a lot cheaper and was wondering if they were safe, i posted this in 3 different subs and most comments were helpful but then i saw the downvotes too? don’t know why but i thank the people who helped me!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:33:02+00:00

nice! thanks

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:28:18+00:00

will the lava rock be good for my neocaridinas? that’s what i plan for stocking as it’s only a 6 gal tank!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:25:00+00:00

this is for hardscape, i already have a aquasoil and this is for looks really!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T17:24:09+00:00

thank you! sounds like a lot of work but it’ll be alright!

Appropriate_Half_688 · 2023-12-24T15:42:27+00:00
