well just got back home today and 2 of my amano shrimps on their size thinking what could it be, (been in there over a week now)
decided to check my Nitrate first thinking its to high and I've been to lazy, but it's at 0ppm next I check ammonia .50ppm and Nitrie 0ppm
last time I did a check on tank params was to long ago, "Yeah I'm not up to scratch but just work to much and so tired after work"
I'm trying to figure out what's caused this my tank has had a few water changes in the last few months not many but allways dechlorinated and my ph was sitting around 7.0ish or there about so nothing to cause a tank not to be happy with its nitrogen cycle, Only thing I can think is I had a PH crash
(I do Co2 inject as I have a planted tank, this must have happened recently as I have had an on going battle with Stahorn algae but now had an explosion of thread algae)
Not sure what to do now apart from shed load of water changes as I have 10 Otos in there
I have a nice Large filter Eheim pro largest I could get and plenty of space in the tank, forgot how many gallons
EDIT: I think the question is, what the hells caused it and typically I can only find high rage PH checker and not the one I need
