I know, you recommended it to me, I purchased a 3ib bag of the normal version and fine version, haven't touched the normal version yet.

Just a thread where I can share photos of my CRS tank and shrimp. I got the original CRS in November ‘18 and they have been breeding fairly consistently since. Sorry the photos aren’t great. They’re all taken on an iPhone 6. Please share your thoughts ? Thanks

How to make the shrimp tank tds down from 250 to 150?

It would be a bit better to give a bit more information before answering this? What are you trying to achieve here? Do you use RO water and remineralise? Are there shrimps (or any other inhabitants) in this tank and if so what type? and so on.......... the more information the better as the answer is probably fairly straight forward, but will vary according to a lot of variables?

CPD Celestial Pearl Danio, Endlers, Blue Eye Rainbowfish, (Pseudomugil tenellus), Emerald Dwarf Rasboras (CELESTICHTHYS ERYTHROMICRON), Chili Rasbora (Boraras brigittae), Gertrude’s Spotted Blue Eye Rainbowfish, (Pseudomugil gertrudae) . You could try some copper based products. I have not tried it on water mites specifically, though. Just make sure you wash the plants thoroughly before using it with shrimp again.

Thanks for the replies. I don't really want to deal with having fish also, but if so, which one do you suggest? I briefly looked into microrasbora, but they suggest you buy a school of 8+, and I didn't really want to deal with that. These don't seem to be the red water mites as they aren't red, nor as large, nor as fast moving, but could very well be one of the many species of water mites. I think they originally came with my pet store Marimo, so there are probably a bunch still inside anyway. Thus, I need some way to nuke them without killing the plants. The shrimp and filter with bacteria I can remove. I just found a few in the new thank that I set up (almost done cycling), so I will need to nuke them from there also.

Yeah, I don't normally recommend fish with shrimp. But this case it's for a purpose. The smaller the fish the better.

I use Black Earth Premium as well from CAL labs. @Mark49, Try this Dymax soil out, if it doesn't work out swap if for something else. Let us know how it goes, or else we will never know whether it is good or not.
