PH raising substrate
Ok so I have Flourite that has been in my tank for about 6 months. I am thinking about keeping shrimp but my well water reeds 0 GH/KH and 5.5 PH (so weird because no pollutants and no water conditioner) but I was wondering if there was something I could put in the tank such as large rocks or some type of gravel or something to keep my PH/KH/GH up so I dont have to keep buying expensive chemicals. I also don't want to have to spend a ton on these items either. Thanks for your suggestions. :fish:

Where can I get these and how much do they cost. Aren't they gray because I have dark brown flourite and I don't think they will look good but its worth a shot.You could try seiryu stones. It raises your ph, gh, and kh, and they look relly nice
Coral chips are another one to try. Just put a small amount in a filter bag. With 0KH, it won't take much to shoot your PH up.
You could try checking craigslist, or your LFS. If all else fails order online.Where can I get these and how much do they cost. Aren't they gray because I have dark brown flourite and I don't think they will look good but its worth a shot.
If you have zero hardness, it's going to take more than crushed coral to make your water safe for shrimp.
Not all remineralizing products are too expensive. Shirakura CA+ may be the most expensive at about $17 but it lasts a long time. Depending upon the type of shrimp you want to keep, even Kent RO Right could suffice. Or the products by Fluval.
Some others: Salty Shrimp, Mosura Mineral Plus Ultra, Benibachi.
