I posted this in another forum topic (it was a little off track) so I thought this is worth a discussion in itself. An example, I have a 60L TB tank that runs at approximately 150TDS. If I was to take out 10-15% (9 litres) of water and change this with RO water how much salty shrimp should I use with the new RO water to maintain 150TDS in the tank. Reason I ask this is I have heard people mix salty shrimp to a TDS of 150 in the new RO water of say 9 litres and when dripping it back in they get a huge swing in TDS readings. This would obviously lead to a much higher TDS when the water change has been added and severely stress the shrimp? Do we have a guideline for how much salty shrimp you should add in to meet current tank TDS?

Fairly obvious, more coming.

I will focus more on the site administration side of things and will not be moderating as much as before. @northboy and @ineke will be joining our team of retired moderators. I thank them for their time on the team and the assistance they have provided. Northboy has helped increase the wealth of knowledge around our natives and Ineke has a great initiative that we will soon announce. Free of the moderator burdens they can both now return to their daily comical banters. @Squiggle will be taking a short break from moderation duties during no doubt what is a very busy period for him. He’s been here from the start with me and a great asset to the team and will be returning once he is over his current busy period. This is a good time for everyone to hone their posting and meme skills for he has no other equal. Maybe we can do a shrimp meme off when he returns to mod duties lol @OzShrimp & @fishmosy will remain as moderators and are more than capable of handling things here. @Disciple will join the team as a moderator on our Facebook page and assist with our social media engagement.
