Ahhh I read about their horrible customer service when I was looking for plants back then. Found out that they mess up a lot of orders too! I wonder how they even stay in business?Comment

+1 Seems like your equipment is taking up a large chunk of your tank. I can't help but stare at the equipment and neglect the rest of the tank.Comment

I'm mainly staring at that sponge filter. Maybe move it from the side of the tank to the back where it's painted black? It'll somewhat hide it.Comment

I'm leaving the sponge till Monday to let the new eheim get some growth in it before I remove the old filter. I just found this prego shrimp that has been hiding. Sorry for pic quality phone kept focusing on soil instead of shrimp.

How important is it to test kh and gh for shrimp and snails?29 Gallon SA Tank -- 5 Bleeding Heart Tetras, Mated Pair of Angels, 7 Green Corys, and a Rubberlip Pleco

I'm still quite new to that bit. I hear the sudden change in kh is more deadly than a sudden change in pH. I tested my rocks to see if they're inert and don't raise the kh and they don't, so I'll be using them for my next shrimp tank.Comment

Depends on what you are keeping, Gh is the General Hardness and Kh is the Carbonate hardness. They are also indirectly related to TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and indirectly related to Ph.
Many soft water shrimp keepers keep up with these numbers as certain high grade shrimp have very finicky requirements.
Gh and Kh test kits are available online and at various stores around town.
Tthe GH and Kh of out tap water is extremely high, though distilled/RO water is essentially zero on both.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
