I used it but did not like it....it's hard to deal with powders in my opinion. I went ahead and purchased Shirakura Ca+ which is awesome. 18 drops added to a gallon of RO/DI water gave me great parameters. I am pretty sure Mordalphus still sells it on here.

Really? thanks for the info. Also, do you know how much does Shirakura Ca+ increase the TDS?

My TDS was never increased that much....it would usually hover around 130-160.

Review time,

Anyone tried Crimson and/or White and could give their opinion about it?

Crimson Review:
In my CRS/CBS tank I have not noticed any noticeable difference in the red coloration of my CRS, but maybe I don't use it enough(once/twice a week)? I just started using it in my PFR/malawa tank and it seems like my PFR have a more solid red coloration than when I wasn't using it, even some of my malawa shrimp have been developing a pinkish/red coloration

I am awaiting shipment of Crimson but it got me to thinking...I have red cherry shrimp AND tiger shrimp in the same tank. Should I worry that the tiger shrimp will be eating Crimson as well as the red cherries?

The tiger shrimp will eat it but it wont affect their coloration, at least it didn't with mine when they were in my CRS/CBS tank for awhile....

What about the White?

Crimson I have seen some changes myself lately.

If your parameters are ideal, you will not need the crimson or white. Coloration is dependent on the temperature, PH, lighting, shrimp genes and many other factors.

+1. IME, a proper gh and KH (and likely PH) have a direct effect on coloration as well. Makes sense considering the amount of calcium carbonate in the water factors into the growth and molting of shrimpy shells
