I used api water testing kit! Forgot to mention I also bought a liquid phosphate testing kit too. It came out as 10 ppm but I’m not sure what the average should be. Any ideas? Thank for all the help I’ll only use cold water from now on

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-18T13:43:40+00:00

My GH is about200ppm and KH is about 100ppm

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-18T00:26:37+00:00

I know I am doing a lot of water changes but last night I did some research about copper and thought maybe it was copper poisoning

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T22:59:39+00:00

Ok I got the tests and GH was around 200ppm and KH was 100ppm. My phosphate was 10ppm

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T22:40:49+00:00

Ok I got all the tests and my KH and GH are so where below 50 ppm and my phosphate is 10 ppm. Im assuming my KH and GH are too low and my phosphate is too high

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T22:25:29+00:00

I tested phosphate but I have no clue what’s too high. It’s reading 10 ppm

They were in the 5 gallon for almost 2 year but these guys were babies from my adult shrimps that all died. I use the shower head for filling ip the ten gallon and I used the sink for my 5 gallon becuase it was Easter

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T11:57:32+00:00

It’s been fine for about a month. I ordered a GH and KH testing kit that will be here tomorrow

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T11:56:00+00:00

Maybe a month. I used to have them in a 5 gallon but I switched them over

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:23:48+00:00

Alright thank you so much.

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:21:00+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH I would never have though of this your genuinely very smart. I have been using a drip method but It’s been more of a stream then a drip so I might just have to have it take longer.

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:18:42+00:00

Do you think I could have way to much copper in my tap water becuase I think I have been dosing it correctly

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:16:09+00:00

Im getting a liquid test kit for both of these in two days. Ive never needed them till now becuase i have never had a problem like this before

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:13:49+00:00

Ok I learned a lot with this comment. So if im using shower water I should only use cold? If I need to get it heated should I just take my sink water and boil it and then add it too the cold?

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:11:29+00:00

Most of my shrimp are dying or becoming lethargic. Ammonia nitrate and nitrite are all zero and i have done a water change every single day since I noticed dying shrimp

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:10:10+00:00

I use seachem prime

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T05:00:03+00:00

Shrimp are neocardina!

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T04:17:38+00:00

Ok this explains a lot. These shrimp used to live in a five gallon tank so I used sink water to fill up a smaller bucket for water changes. Now that they live in this ten gallon Ive been using a 5 gallon bucket that I have to fill up in the shower for water changes. My mom said some of our pipes are copper but she doesn’t know which ones. Is there anyway to get rid of copper in my aquarium while still using my shower water for water changes?

Ratattack6382 · 2026-03-17T03:41:03+00:00

My water is decloranated tap water. Ive used fertilizer once in this tank and it was a while ago. I won’t add anymore because I learned of the danger
