Okay so the ammonia test came and I’ve just done it and I’m happy I have 0ppm possibly just on the 0.25ppm so should I still add some of Dr Tim’s one and only. I don’t see why not but I shall wait until I hear from you guys, iv got to go back to work but I’ll do a ph,gh and kh when I’m back I was also thinking of doing a small water change/top up.

Yeah, looks close to 0. It doesn't hurt to add the One and Only. You can go with recommended dose. Did you do any of the water changes I recommended prior to this?

Giving away your surplus to help others. That's the SKF spirit Simon. Well done.

Does it look like this? https://ysjournal.com/the-humble-immortal-hydra/ If it does, I had that in 2 tanks, if you send me a message or email [email protected] with your address I have some SL Aqua Z1 which worked for me and I can send you some as it is internal post. It won't get posted until this weekend if you are happy to wait until then but a friend is coming who can post it then! It is a white powder, directions as per this link, really easy! It is a natural nut oil so is harmless to shrimp and 1 scoop will be sufficient in your 20L. http://www.sl-aqua.com/en/conditioner/products_z1.html Hydra normally come on plants and as I say I have had that even from professional shrimp suppliers that I have got plants from! I have (many years ago) bought quite a lot of shrimps on ebay and I never had a problem. The best way to be safe with plants and shrimp is to quarantine them, if that is possible, but for now we are where we are so we just need to get you sorted! Simon

Hello there guys just wanted to give you a little update everything looks good at the moment all the shrimp seem happy and are moving around like they should. Only one died out of the 5 I was concerned when I left at 5 am it was still alive and one colour I’ve just gotten home and as I had expected it was dead but it has gone orange
