You should get a TDS meter and test yourself, they're only $20 for a decent one. This is the one I use. Your shrimp needs calcium to molt, measured by gH (calcium + magnesium). If you have some snails in your tank or feed Ken's veggie sticks + calcium you should be fine.
Tds?

I meant that it's impossible to have 60ppm of TDS and have 6 degrees of GH. It just doesn't add up. That means the info you found is false or the test results u have are false.
Another example, if I measure only:
10ppm no3
1ppm po4
100ppm GH or ~6dGh
And everything else is zero.
TDS should be 111ppm. Got it?
TOTAL dissolved solids
The "degrees" of GH represent each drop of API test kits. Roughy 17.9ppm each drop.

Okay, now I understand. Thanks a lot!I meant that it's impossible to have 60ppm of TDS and have 6 degrees of GH. It just doesn't add up. That means the info you found is false or the test results u have are false.
