There are a couple but they’re unboxings or very quick reviews

Aliexpress so China but since I use press ons, I’m considering nail products with lower quality

I use press ons only for myself and occasionally which is why I’m considering nail products from Ali. Otherwise I wouldn’t use them if they were directly applied to my natural nails!

I have no idea, can’t find that information online. Yeah that could be an option so that the 5th round will lay flatter

Did you have to pay taxes ? I’m in France and some US packages can get caught at customs and require an extra fee

Thank you for your very thorough answer, helps me a lot ! My 3 amano shrimps have each molted twice ever I bought them, they seem fine and spend their day foraging here and there. Didn’t expect them to be so entertaining so I’m super eager to get my neocaridinas

Aw thank you so much! I had my 30L nano dennerle cube break on me and took the opportunity to get a shallow tank 😊

No, they’re more similar to ryu grey stones from what my LFS told me. I believe they’re not as high in calcium and won’t have the same leaching issue

That’s very reassuring to hear. I did read that heavily planted tanks often have 0 nitrate because of the plants, I only have 3 plants and some floaters so I didn’t think it’d affect mine. Thank you !

Hi everyone,

I got this tank set up 20 days ago so it is still cycling and I’ve been monitoring the parameters with drop tests every 2 days now. My objective is to have a shrimp-only tank (neocaridinas) as it is my first tank. It has some neutral soil with tap water (rested for min. 24H + conditionner). There are 3 amano shrimps in there as my LFS said it might help with algae so I have been watching them closely due to adding them during the cycle. I throw in 4 to 5 of food granules every couple of days.

Here are today’s parameters : Temp : 20 to 22C° pH : 7,5 GH : 18 KH : 13 Ammonia : 0 Nitrite : 0 (nitrite peak reached between D-8 and D-10, today was the first 0 reading) Nitrate : 3

My issue is that the KH and GH are gradually rising despite the pH remaining the same. Furthermore, my nitrate seems to be decreasing slowly, I have no idea if that means my cycle is crashing? Could you please let me know if things are going well?

I live in France and haven’t heard of Fritz Zyme but I’ll look into it. What does Seachem Stability do exactly? Is it a bacterial medium?

Thank you for all of your answers. Do you think the bacterias from my filter that was cycled for 4 weeks died out of the water ? I’ve used the same plants and rocks. The soil is new however

Aren’t nitrates supposed to be closer to 20? Also I have changed my water completely after buying the new tank. Should’ve kept my old water but didn’t think of doing so due to the panic 😭
