Tully Gorge, home of the zebra shrimp

[Strawdog]

I continue to be blown away by the gorgeous variety of native's that inhabit the area around my home in cairns. Gotta get back up there for a holiday and make some trips!

So awesome to check them in the wild!

 

I wonder, how come TDS is always so low in these waters? So much rocks, should give some lime right? Or is it because new water is constant flowing in?

[fishmosy]

Based on what I saw last time, the TDS is so low because the water is essentially rainwater draining off the mountain. The rocks also seem to be inert. I dont know what type of rock it is.

A similar looking rock I found here in NSW is totally inert. I used that rock for my first zebra tank and it will be going in my next zebra tank as well.
