NO2 - 0
NO3 - minimal

gh required for crs is 4-6

any higher will result in molting problems - they will not be able to molt.

too low will result in forming of shell.

do NOT dose mosura mineral plus and liquid calcium together.

someone please update about KH.

nice work compiling the data.

dosing mosura increases the gh right? which would make the color of the shrimps better?
