well hard to say for certain but i think i lost about 10 total, had two molts in the shipping bag ... bag water had a tds of 85, in the one bag. these are neos. The other bag was a nice 225tds. Update i have been seeing more and more berried girls. Tonight at feeding i counted 7 girls happily flapping tails full of eggs. Hard to be patient waiting weeks for babies, seems like the first berried girl was about 2 weeks ago. Soon be a shrimp explosion.

All good! Test kit is in the mail and the tank hasnt even been built yet so just trying to plan it all out ahead of time. I bought the zero water filter and 2 extra cartridges and only plan to use it in emergencies ( unless the tank water tests really poorly) so it should last for a while. Thanks again for your help sub

Ok thanks all, sdlTBfanUK I ended up buying the zero water 23 cup filter with the free TDS meter. I will test my watertank water and hopefully be using this (at the moment we only really use this on the garden), but now I have an emergency source of water for the aquarium in case we have an extended dry period. I got a couple of extra filters so this should do fine for me in an emergency. Maybe when we renovate the kitchen at some time in the future I will look into a legit RO system. Thanks for all of your help team! sub
