I know, i'm still salting my tank (I have no salt left, i have to go to the petshop)

My conductimeter take time to measure salt water conductivity, wich is 7.69mS/cm. Converted in density I have 1.003 or 4ppt at the moment.

It's a french hobbyist with an old and full of shrimps tank, no import only home breeding. Starfish and amphipods died during aclimatation. The tank is still in salting.

Your shrimps arent opae ula and your tank isnt brackish.

Hello. Those grown bigger than diminutus so it was another specie (probably puer) but I get yesterday 3 other crayfish I hope it's the real diminutus

Introducing Chaetomorpha, three species of Caulerpa and some hitchhicker brittle stars and amphipods/isopods. https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/cp0/e15/q65/s480x480/15241375_10210880665470844_7497288047606293814_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&oh=b56955d0fb0dd8a01d9ff20ccb4aaef8&oe=58C1C8...

If your nitrate is 0, it mean your plants are faster at removing NH3 than your filter turn it into NO3. You can turn it off if you want, it's only eating 02 and iron, plants are already doing his job. Also did your shrimp your shrimp berry at all or not? Maybe you have shimplets but they are caught ...

My respice against green algaes:
-Low-light
-Long photoperiode (10h+)
-Lot of fast growing plants, including a lot of floating ones

Having hair algae is sort of a good thing, because they love almost the same setup as plants.

I saw a theory saying Halocaridina can change sex over lifetime... But that kind of animals are usually as mâle and then become female...

Just let it grow, its probably nothing to fear.

Hello. I finaly found a french breeder of Opae Ula, so i'm setting up my tank. I want it to be planted so I bought a portion of Caloglossa beccari, a red algae glowing in mangroves and tolerating all kinds of salinity. I also put some pieces of marimo balls, I hope they will survive or transform int...

It's autotroph bacteria, nothing to fear.

sorry Mustafa i dont come here often. Here is an independent experiment. I offered a dozen of my Macros to a friend and they where put with a mis of vella molly, wild endlers and koi xypho. We where afraid because poecilid sleep tight on the ground and are easy target for crayfish and ghost shrimps....

Not a single one. Not even kuhlis loaches. And all this fishes and shrimps are (probably) feed only once a week.

There is another component:

Bacteria turn NO3 to N2 and 02.

this reaction exist in freshwater filter but is very weak. It's strong in reef tanks (inside live rocks), may be in our brackish tanks with little ammonia, this reaction is dominant.
