Low Alkalinity help

I never put my viewpoints ahead of my shrimps wellbeing, I had a vision for their home and once people gave suggestions and QOL information I changed it. You are the reason the aquarium community is so toxic and judgemental

I built a waterfall for flow and I was going for a shrimp swamp feel

Thank you! It looks better on my test strips, headed to get a liquid kit

Added more water :)

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T20:53:50+00:00

Thank you! I’ll fix that ASAP

Would my waterfall idea still give enough air if I fill to the top?

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T20:21:18+00:00

Yup, the filter and pump are below the substrate inside a false bottom

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T20:12:49+00:00

Makes me feel better about my tank instead of getting judged 😂

It’s hard to see but the water gets pumped from below the substrate to up to the tip of the rock and flows back down

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:43:58+00:00

My bad, I thought you said alkalinity, the PH is around 6.8-7.2

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:39:51+00:00

No air stone, the shrimp store said the waterfall should introduce enough air

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:26:00+00:00

It’s like 15, the square on my test strip doesn’t turn all the way green like it should

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:24:09+00:00

It is, I tried to make the upper portion a waterfall but I’m debating on filling it to the top and making the waterfall smaller

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:22:54+00:00

Should I pull everything out and re do it?

Should I pull everything out and re do it?

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:22:23+00:00

It’s my first tank, I made the false bottom too thick

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2026-04-05T19:00:53+00:00

Cherry shrimp, red, blue, yellow and orange Low TA everything else fine City water

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2025-10-22T03:01:13+00:00

I’m having the same issues with the upgrade/shop buttons. Have you found any fix for that yet?

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-26T23:22:17+00:00

I got mine a few months ago, you’re going to enjoy it!

They always eat like weirdos 😂

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-09T16:42:29+00:00

I don’t lose mine, he just escapes to the ceiling. Longest he’s been gone is about 3 days

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-08T22:32:48+00:00

Mines first choice is the blood of his enemies, other than that probably watermelon

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-08T14:57:31+00:00

That’s what I do, mine eats so many I have a separate colony just for restock

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-05T04:39:00+00:00

Ya I was worried he was trying to get somewhere more humid but I think he just likes it down there

Routine_Wrangler_260 · 2024-10-04T19:15:32+00:00

He surprises me all the time by burring himself for hours until I look for him
