New 20g Long Build

[tiger terror]

While doing a little tank maintenance this evening I found a shrimp molt in the tank..I've been toying with idea of placing some cherry shrimp from another tank in this one so I figured I might as well & go ahead..slightly puzzled as to where the molt came from&after close inspection I was unable to locate the shrimp in question.I was able to net 4 juvies from my fluval edge,acclimated them& in the tank they went...this will be the largest tank I've introduced shrimp in to date..Naturally I'm interested to see how well they take hold.

Good luck with the shrimp! Trying to find 10 ghost shrimp in my tank is proving to be a big challenge for me. Couple hiding spots that I cant see into without disturbing the tank

Tank is doing well besides the disappearing act of 2 white cloud mountain minnows..have had this happen before when a pair bred..plants are growing well&all fauna seem to appreciate the setup as well..I have some harlequin rasboras on hold at the lfs I'll be picking up today..I'll post some pics later when lights are on...

Let me know how it goes. I just got some last week and they are still adjusting to the tank.

The pic doesn't show the new growth very well,New leaves coming in showing a tanish color...the rest of the equipment for the water barrel should come in tomorrow&hoping it's helps take some of the work out of the pwc's..

Just finished a pwc on the tank along with some trimming,some hitchhiking snails met their maker&was able to split the blyxa into 6 total plants...wasn't too difficult splitting the blyxa as I was able to find some "how to" videos on UTube..

Also 2/3 of the blyxa were beginning to flower.

So the TOM hob filter isn't what I thought it would be,seems like I've got to do maintenance on it every 3 days to keep descent-ok flow...looking at the sunsun 304 which list 264 gph turn over..anyone have any experience with these canisters?

What size tanks are you running them on? Concerned with the flow&that it might be too much..Not a snail fart...Lol

After checking specs I'm gonna give the 603B L a shot,gets high reviews.

Decided to go with the sunsun 304,better to have more flow..I have a pvc ball valve that I'll put inline if I feel the flow is to strong...

7 neon tetras
2 Siamese fox(will be rehomed}
