Dwarf Crays + Rodi

I have a cycled 10 gallon aquarium that currently houses 2 otocinclus catfish, a few cherry shrimp, 4 amano shrimp, and a bunch of pest snails. I'm going to be moving the cherry shrimp into a different tank once I get it cycled but afterwards I was thinking about getting a couple of dwarf crayfish for the tank. The only question I have is if the water will be good for the crays.

I'm currently switching over to remineralized RODI water (we're about 50% of the way at this point). I used Salty Shrimp gh/kh+ to remineralize it. Is that any good for the crays? If not then I can find something else to put in the tank (maybe more amanos), but I thought I'd ask!

What GH and KH does that raise the water to?

They have a very wide ph range as low as 6 and as high as 8.5 so your RO water should fall well within the with salty shrimp gh/kh

I think the concern would be is it enough carbonate for their shells. what are your GH/KH levels?

It brings gh up to around 8-9 and kh to 3-4. I do add some crushed eggshells and I have a cuttlebone in the tank currently.

Perfect, your cray will be very happy with that
