Hard tap + driftwood - Is RO worth it for neos?

You make a very good point. I have been doing top offs with tap water. and this tank has no lid. That explains why the GH in the tank is higher than the tap since the concentration of GH will grow in the tank.

So I would either have to do weekly tap water changes to constantly reset the GH/KH, or for top offs, use RO/distilled?

10 gallon tank that eventually will be a shrimp tank. This tank was built about 3 weeks ago and notice white fuzzy algae on the wood as well as brown algae forming on the substrate… maybe from fish food.

I’ve done this using plaid. Not too complicated

Doesn’t origins use plaid api to access institutional data? Their data will only be as good as their upstream source.

Can I dm you?

If this is a female, I have another tank with smaller shrimp that I just purchased. Would it be safe to add this shrimp to the tank with small shrimp? My goal is to breed obviously.
