Hi all, thank you for the 'welcome' and I'm looking forward to learning from, and perhaps, down the track, contributing to this awesome forum site. I have wanted to keep neocaridinas for some years and now is the right time for me to do that, so I'm hoping to 'do it right' from the start. I have currently set up my 50L bow-fronted tank with our filtered rain water. There is a fixed 3 stage filter system in the tank and I've used small white pebbles for the substrate. There are several anubias, some java moss, several amazon swords and a variegated rush for vegetation.  I currently have 14 RCS and also 5 babies that came in the order with the adults. I started with 18 adults but over the first month I lost 4. Everyone seems to have settled in now and there have been about 7 successful molts in 4 weeks. This brings me to a question and I'm sure it will be one that has been asked many times, what brand of water test kits do people recommend as I need to be testing for GH, KH, Nitrates and Nitrites (I already have a PH kit). Is there anything else I should also test for?

Thanks, Myola
