What are the best levels for calcium for keeping a healthy, happy, cleaner shrimp? Mine are currently at 500.
I ask because my last 2 shrimp died, and I am hoping not to have a repeat. I just put one in last night after a 3 hours of acclimation and he has vanished (likely hiding/molting?)
Tank Stats:
55g with ~50lbs live rock
Tidal 75 pump
2 Powerheads
Temp: 78
Water changes every 2-3 weeks
Alk (according to API): 11.2
Ammonia: <.25
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 25-50
SG: 1.026
Inhabitants:
2 clowns
6-line wrasse
YWG + Pistol Shrimp
1 Cardinal
Purple Firefish
Small corals (Duncan, trumpet, mushroom, hammer)
In addition to calcium levels, is there anything else I can do to ensure he thrives in my tank?
