Just getting started with this, decided yesterday to use this tank and to do this stocking.
Starting with
Tank
Mr. Aqua (was new to me last summer)
11.4 Gallons
Dimension: 18.9" x 11.8" x 11.8"
Has a nice home made acrylic top with clips to brace it and a slot cut out for the HOB and a feeding hole!
Filter
Was supposed to be a Fluval 20 which came off of a Fluval Edge tank but it just won't work for me and I'm using a temporary internal filter that was supposed to be for a turtle tank, can't remember atm the brand moves the water nicely.
Substrate
Shrimp Substrate which came with the TT.
It might be Up Aqua ~1mm uniform balls kinda grey. Light and fluffy feeling but sinks right back down and sits there well. Really odd stuff.
Being used to Eco Complete I expect it to practically cut my hands, but no, and it is fun to play with.
Light
Beamworks 36 LED - has a few blue moonlights, I traded for it a while back for a backup light so didn't really pay too close of attention to all the particulars. Will need to look that up in awhile.
Stock
Have approx. 24 assorted size TT shrimp Picked these up the beginning of May 2015. Kept them with the Blue Velvet shrimp and has few set backs over the year and feel lucky to have this many left.
They were in a temporary situation which lasted aaaalllllll the way to now, so I was a bit behind.
Here they are when I was putting them into the tank after bringing them home last May.
