Hi everyone...sorry for old topic... I would like to ask what I can do to increase GH in my CRS tank?

I remember someone mention Salty Shrimp GH++... may you help to provide the name? My memory is really getting worse!

MY ph is 6.4...but I know GH is little low which is 3. I change water with RO water and tap (50%) I have been adding some mineral but seem not very helpful.

I will need to fix the problem before buying more BKK from some sellers here

Hope you can help...

THank you

Yes it is call Salty bee shrimp gh+ , this one wont hurt your pH or other parameters.

so many great options out there!

shirakura, Salty Shrimp, Mosura, Borneowild, benibachi.... list goes on and on...

Aren't BKK really expensive? I would spend a good amount of time researching how to do things right before making a large purchase.

Salty Shrimp has one, BorneoWild has a GH product, Fluval has one, Mosura has one, you have lot's of choices

Yes, MgSO4 will increase the GH. It will not affect pH.

i think what comes into play is how much each one will raise the tds. i have seen people mention that ss GH+ isnt as "dirty" so it does not raise the tds much. i could be wrong though

SS is one of the cleanest out there as far as TDS goes.

I'd put shirakura liquid mineral a head of it as far as cleanest.

 

[Soothing Shrimp]

You may very well be correct. I haven't used that one.
