That is a nice set up! What great looking shrimp!

I can't get over those Rilis

. You should join the group shrimp-keepers

. There's an area where you can post pics and see a couple other pics.

Brian_Nano12g · 02-20-2013, 09:40 PM

Thanks jcolon, i see a bunch of shrimp pics on TPT too. I'll check that out though.

@alex - please do share

Alex ski · 02-20-2013, 09:49 PM

A little to much alge right now because I accidentally ( it was a pretty dumb mistake) left the light on for two days straight ( kind of not smart I know) but yah those are my shrimp and my tank

P.s your tank is butifful you must if spent a lot of time perffecting it

Brian_Nano12g · 02-20-2013, 10:05 PM

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

Brian_Nano12g · 02-20-2013, 10:10 PM

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

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.

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.

tiger terror · 02-21-2013, 08:02 PM

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..

Your tank looks amazing! I foresee a shrimp tank in my future.....LOL

Brian_Nano12g · 02-21-2013, 11:26 PM

@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?
