Hi all,
Hope you can help! LIttle urgent..and little unexpected. Here is my tank detail:
- around 10Gallon ADA tank with ada soil. Setup for less than 5 months.
- Use two sponge filters with air pumps.
- Not so much plants
- GH is 5 and KH is 1-2
- PH is around 6.4
-Temp is 24 celcius
- TDS...is 278 (it used to be below 150 in the first 2-3 months
- Repace with RO/tap water once a week. The size is about 1/4 of the tank.
- NO3 is about 20 by using API...
NO2 is 0
I have over 30 mischling and 5 BBK in it..and no causaulty at all in the first 4 months. It just happened last Thursday I have 4 shrimps died...then 2 on Friday... and 3 on Saturday. And today I got another 2... so far 2 BBK is dead...so I am going to transfer the shrimps to other of my tanks for temporary.
May I ask what is going wrong my my shrimps dying one by one in a sudden? MY NO3 has been 20 for a while... and is TDS another issue...which is little too high? What should I do..should I replace all of the water? Or should I change my sponge filter back to any other kind of filter such as Canister... I just cleaned the fitlers last weekend while there started to have shrmips died.
Hope you can help.... and now i cannot focus at work
