Is CSM-B (trace) safe for shrimp?


Hello! I have CBS SSS, OEBTs, CRS SS and blue velvets in a 30 gallon planted tank.

I have been dosing about 1/4-1/2 PPSpro macros daily.

I was wondering is CSM b is safe or not. I built up traces using seachem equilibrium while raising GH. Now I'm using mosura mineral plus for GH so no more traces from equilibrium.

I plan on dosing 1/4-1/2 of the PPSpro solution for trace.

There is pressurized co2, 1bp3s.

Any thoughts?

1/8-1/4 should be OK. With your plants you don’t need many trace elements. The light will lead how much to add. In general you have to decide what you do like most-shrimps or plants.

I love both!

Medium light, seems fine for now, I just "feel" it needs traces. Thanks!

I had the same question, as my trace contains copper. Keeping RCS and fire reds.
