Those shells are harder than they seem :lol: My LR will not be resting on the shells btw... will update you guys on later on how both me and tank maker planned to introduce the LR :)

The shells are good substrate (and relatively expensive compared to $5 sand)... but I'm sure it will be worthwhile in the long run :)

Emm... the Australian Gold I placed on the surface... just one pack... maybe stir them tomorrow so that the surface is less brown :) Also the flash light made the pix more red/brown :heh:

Considering removing the bioballs... probably not replacing with other media... the only worry is noise... I don't think I can endure water fall sound effect all day long :lol:

Any suggestion bros and sis? Thanks in advance...

Common sense will tell u its 0. If its not, what's the point of running DI........

I believe if the tds level is below 20, it is still regarded as optimum, had read that somewhere in RC. If it's above 20, use it for something else then.
