A Deep Dive Into General Hardness (GH) For Shrimp Tanks

This video deserves more views and likes!

Man, that's really great content. Congratulations. Will you post some more? Hehe

Great video well explained! :)

Hello- What test kit do you recommend I use to test Magnesium and Calcium? I have Well water and some of the shrimp in my tank don't seem to do so great. My GH/KH levels seem to be within the correct range for neocaridina shrimp.

I found my shrimp math teacher

your explainations are always so well constructed! really appreciate the scientific dive to have a deeper understanding ^_^ also love your animations and humor! :]

Thank you 😊 im completely new to shrimp and now im completely confused 😂 im thinking i should have stuck with chiclids 😂

My tap water. Gh 7, kh 3, tds 175. Should be perfect for neocaridina right?

Can we get a video on scuds? I saw one in my new tank the other day and everyone says it will be a death sentence for my shrimp. But a few people online say they have scuds and shrimp together and it’s been fine.

Great video I feel like a lot of the other shrimp videos I see is mostly broscience stuff not necessarily wrong but not with cited sources and scientific approach like this cool stuff

Enough of the damned background popup noises, good lord. Also, when talking about gh, I'd like to know what aquarists have against ppm ffs... It's more accurate and not difficult. What is the strangle hold the germans have over you guys?

For people who are still confused. Metals=higher pH. Acids=lower pH. gh will rise as pH does and vice versa. You want more metals for shrimp tanks but not too much.

Ok, that was a lot of information for me to take in at 2am so let me get this right. Adding sugar to your shrimp tank will make salty cookies, correct? Yes? Perfect, got it, note to self, never add shrimp to cookies.

Love that you provide articles as well. Great stuff, thank you.

I put egg shell in my coffee grinder and put that in the tank no issues hundreds of neos

Excellent scientific explanation on GH. Explaining the why and how the recipe works is so valuable. You are the Alton Brown of shrimp keeping :-)

Wow. What a great video lots that I did not consider previously.

Interesting. Now I need another API test kit!

great vid!
