10 gallon nano-reef coming together

[BigRedsReefs10]

Every where is different, I think there like $10 on LA. I got mine for $7.50 a piece from my lfs

 

[10gal_nano]

Cool. I think I'll get 3? Soon. Will they host a frogspawn? How big do they get? Thanks

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

They get to be about an inch. Any shrimp shouldn't be added until your tank is a little more mature though as they are very sensitive creatures.

 

[10gal_nano]

Oh. Ok.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Not trying to bring you down, just don't want to see you waste your money or have livestock die on you

 

[10gal_nano]

I understand completely. Doing a water test today.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

And I they apparently will "host" a frogspawn

The ones in my office pico spend most of their time in the ric garden doing there little dance

 

[10gal_nano]

Beautiful frogspawn! Will they co-exist with cleaner shrimp?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Ya cleaners don't bother anything. They annoy some people because the will try and "clean" your hand when ever it's in the tank (actually one of the reasons I love these guys) but other than stealing food, they don't bother anything. They will eat something that dies, but they won't kill it.

 

[10gal_nano]

I love them too. I'll get one

 

[10gal_nano]

Water is good! Cleaner shrimp

 

[Macscale]

Did we not mention that shrimp are very finicky and do better in mature tanks?

 

[10gal_nano]

I thought you said about nems and sexies

 

[10gal_nano]

Ammonia 0

Nitrite 0

Nitrate .20

Salinity a little high. Need to put in a little ro water

Ph 8.1

Nems, Clams, and shrimp but not as long for shrimp. It's possible to keep him well, but they just prefer a little older tanks. 3-5months.

 

[Macscale]

Ammonia 0

Nitrite 0

Nitrate .20

Salinity a little high. Need to put in a little ro water

Ph 8.1

Do you mean Nitrate is 20? I find it hard to believe that you can test in such a small increment.

 

[10gal_nano]

Shoot. Fingers crossed.

Yes sorry. 20

 

[Macscale]

Shoot. Fingers crossed.

Nah you'll be fine as long as you take good care of him. Some people can never keep the shrimp long, others can keep them for years.

 

[10gal_nano]

Ok. He is very cool I like him. Is nitrate too high?

 

[Macscale]

Ok. He is very cool I like him. Is nitrate too high?

Yeah, I'd get it less then 10. That could harm the shrimp.
