not sure if i wanna throw a powerhead in such a small tank with crs..Comment

Lower the water level a bit. Or a small air stone if you don't want to use a power head...Comment

lol nevermind. js remembered how huge it was.. gonna basically do my water change for me if i put it in my tank. =\ someone recommend me a good ph for 5.5 gallon crs tank.Comment

Still think your best bet is to lower the water level just enough so the filter creates some surface agitation.Comment

lol i went with your idea of using airstone. works wonders ;] thanks.Originally posted by sunkenmetal View PostComment

well i am still pondering how to lower the pH for this tank. i got recommended using R/O water to bring the pH down a bit. im js not sure how to introduce this R/O water into the tank without fluctuating the parameters too much and possibly killing my shrimps.Comment

why lower the PH?
just do your water changes with R/O water...Comment

pH sitting around 7.6-8 and crs can't breed or live long in that high of pH correct? r/o water is 6.2, by mixing it i can achieve pH around 7. lol so i should js replace the water i take out with the r/o water? pH wouldn't decrease too much by that?Comment
