I have recently got into keeping shrimp and I'm really enjoying them so far.. I'd love to see what AA members have and the tank setups. Post your pics!

That is a nice set up! What great looking shrimp!(y) I can't get over those Rilis:eek:. You should join the group shrimp-keepers(y). There's an area where you can post pics and see a couple other pics.
 
Thanks jcolon, i see a bunch of shrimp pics on TPT too. I'll check that out though.

Your tank looks good. The algae isn't too bad. You can spot treat it with some Excel. Thanks for the compliment on my tank. I just did a minor rescape and moved some plants around. I also did a major trim and retied the Flame Moss.. once things grow in a bit, it should be looking the way I want it.

Will exel kill my plants with copper
 
There's no copper in Excel. Excel is a liquid carbon that just so happens to also be an algaecide. Just don't dose too much as it would negatively impact the livestock.
 
Here's a pic I just snapped a few minutes ago. I re-arranged and added a DW and some plants. I like this look a little better than before. Hopefully by the end of the week, it'll also be home to 10 TigerShrimp:dance:.

Nice write-up Bud! It should be a sticky on the inverts section... Oh I just checked your threads, didn't even realize you started a post your shrimp tank pics thread like this... We should consolidate the threads and keep them going!

Anyway, care to share some pics of your shrimp tank(s)? :)

Merged the two threads as requested. Will post up my own pictures in a bit.
 
Here are a few pics of my crs colony in the 6g fluval edge...also not in pic are horned nerite snails(2)&scarlet badis(2).

That's a sweet looking edge! Are you using any additional lighting? Is it the gen 2 edge with LED? I have an old edge and I'm looking to upgrade the lighting. Might get the LED arm for the edge 12g to put in my 6g.
 
Thanks Brian,its a 1st gen edge that I removed the halogens&replaced with led pin builds...claim to be 7000k,the java moss,pelia moss,crypts&windelov ferns have done really well with this lighting..

@Tiger Terror - Are those ebay LED's blue?

@Redsea - Thanks for the compliment! So what are you thinking of getting for the "shrimp tank?" And... how's your 20L coming along? You get the Finnex fixture?
