    The morn/night top off may be your challenge?

    I have never had an issue with this. I always top off slowly with water that is the same temp as the tank water and because I do two top offs a day I am only adding very minimal amounts of water each time so there is barely a shift in the parameters.

    Amanda, did you use airline tubing to add in new water? I found a while back for me, adding water too abruptly has bad consequences for my tanks.

    Yes, I use airline to drip my water back in. The only time I don't use airline is when I top off my tanks in the morning and at night.

    I experienced deaths in my tank after feeding double speed. I did a water change and stopped using the double speed and the deaths stopped. Not sure if it was the double speed, but I didn't change anything else so I am assuming it was the issue.

    So after creating this thread I started trying out some samples of LOWKEYS foods. I used Double Speed in small amounts every other day. Over the course of two weeks I tried each of the following once: Ultra Supple, B18 Power Protein, Vitamin Kale, and Hidden No Esa. During this time I preformed one 10% water change. I had two unexpected deaths of adult Taiwan Bees and lost several babies in both my TB tank and Crystal tank.

     

    To give a brief background of my tanks: I have two 7g cubes with ADA. They cycled for 2.5 months prior to introducing shrimp. The shrimp have been in these tanks for almost two months now with no deaths, successful molts, and several berried females. I use MK Blue Diamond as my remineralizer and Mosura Old Sea Mud in very tiny amounts biweekly. My normal feeding schedule consists of feeding a calcium pellet food 2 times a week, Glasgarten shrimp dinner 2 times a week, and Bacter AE in tiny amounts once daily. I supplement with different HAN foods once a week depending on what I have already fed for that week. I also feed an amaranth leaf once a month and there is always an IAL in the tank. I take two days a week and feed nothing but the tiny amount of Bacter AE.

     

    Due to the deaths I have stopped feeding LOWKEYS products. I cannot pin point exactly what caused the deaths, but after reading that others experienced deaths from the Double Speed I assumed that could be the reason for the deaths in my tanks too.

    Hey Amanda,

    LOWKEYS is semi newer to USA. In the pass people have used there products here and there. But now its ready available in USA from me :)

    LOWKEYS is high quality product line from Japan. And has been around since 2006? (I believe)

    Hopefully DET Aquarium will chime in as he has basically using the whole product line. And has been exclusively feeding/using it to his shrimps in a nice manner.

    But as all will tell you, you definitely want to try out the Double Speed!!! :)

    i'll let other chime in that has used the products.

    but ya like Jem, said if you want to try some samples let me know :)

    In my last order you sent me some samples. I'm excited to try them out and see how my shrimpies like them :)

    I am considering ordering a few products for my TB tank and my Crystal tank. I don't know much about these products except for what you can read in the product description. So my questions are: Why are these products desirable or beneficial & which products would you recommend if any at all? 

     

    My goal, as all of ours is, is to provide an optimum environment for my shrimp to grow and breed in. I like to use a variety of foods to provide a balanced diet and I only use minimal supplements (tiny amount of Mosura Old Sea Mud biweekly).

     

    Thanks in advance :)
