    BlueAquarium06's Shrimp Tank Build!

    I have the test kits lol, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to cycling. I'm getting zeroes for for ammonia and nitrite, ~10 nitrate. So I'm confident in that. My ph is ~7.4ph. Now the stuff i have no experience with is gh/kh, i have the tests but have never really used them. Gh/kh is 7/4...

    BlueAquarium06's Shrimp Tank Build!

    So I'm pretty sure my cycle is done, but I'm considering holding off even longer than originally plannedto get the shrimp. I've been reading several sources that say they do best in a more established tank, not necessarily one that just finished it's cycle. I'm just not sure how to know when...

    BlueAquarium06's Shrimp Tank Build!

    I absolutely love the shrimp, those guys are beautiful. I'm really digging the blue and I'm starting to lean that way now. Even if they'll just look black. I'm leaning more towards the blue velvet, I'm not sure why I'm just really drawn to them

    BlueAquarium06's Shrimp Tank Build!

    Okay so i set the heater to 70° just so it doesn't drop to much at night. One thing I'm sort of questioning is my lighting. I'm currently using a fluval sky that I was using as supplemental lighting on my nano reef. I'm just not sure if it's enough light. Does anyone have any suggestions on...

    BlueAquarium06's Shrimp Tank Build!

    My apartment usually stays around 73-74 in the bedroom during the day, but can drop to around 64-65 at night, should I leave the heater in and just drop it to say 72° to avoid temp fluctuations?

    How do i post a picture?

    It doesn't say that 88kb is to large, it says that it's ~88kb (or some other number) larger than the maximum size. I would take a screenshot and post what it says, but it won't even let me do that

    How do i post a picture?

    I'm using android, I don't think i used to have any issues, but it's been awhile since I've been on so I dont really remember. If i try to post a picture even one i just took using the app it says it's roughly 88kb to large, if i resize it to as small as i possibly can it says it's about 4kb...
