Hey guys Im new to shrimp and very excited about getting my tank up and ready! But I am having a bit of trouble deciding what to do about my gH, kH and pH My tanks been going just over a week and currently my parameters sit at the following- Temp:24 pH:6.2 gH:3 kH:0 Ammonia: .5 (will cycle/water change this down to 0 hopefully) and I am using Fluval Stratum I am wanting to get the ph to 6.6-6.8 and was wondering what I should do to achieve this? I have heard Airstones can help raise pH a bit, is this true? I am wanting to get my gH to 6 (not too much higher for I may eventually add crsytals to the tank and want to practise keeping the parameters in a safe zone for them as well as the cherrys). And I don't know what to do about my kH?? Some people say kH of 0 is fine for Cherry shrimp, others say it should be higher. Has anyone had any adverse effects from a kH of 0? My thought was that if its fine to keep the kH at 0 then I would use Salty Shrimp Bee gH+ to bring up the gH Really appreciate your help guys! This shrimp thing has a lot in it! Cheers, Snewls
