No I don't. I wanted to keep the setup as simple and stable as I possibly could to accommodate the CRS so I kept it low light, low tech and very slow growing.

Actually, the tank is open top and the light is just a Wallyworld $15 desk lamp. I had two over the tank but removed one when I started to get hair algae. It seems to be working great. Everything is growing in well and the shrimp are happy. I thought about switching to a better light bit...

Yeah. I had some shrimp in another tank and they were doing very well. I had probably 40 or so counting babies. I added one flagfish to help clean out so hair algae and... two weeks later no more algae and no more shrimp.

Go for it! I'm in the process of setting up another 10g shrimp tank to go with this one. No Co2 on this tank. It's fairly low light and low tech. These shrimp need a stable environment and CO2 is just another thing that can go wrong. Thats why I used slow growing plants as well. No need...

Meegosh and dkpate: I never thought I'd get into shrimp either. I was always a big tank and aggressive kinda guy. Stumbled into planted tanks about six months ago and from there made my way to shrimp. There are a ton of different types out there and many are quite beautiful. Its a fun...

Thanks

Thank you very much. I love my new shrimp. Can't wait for babies.

Just a quick update. Things are moving reeeeeeeeeeealy slow. Moved the hairgrass to another tank because it was growing a bit long for my liking but the E. Tenellus 'Micro Red' that replaced it is growing in very well and turning a very pretty pink color. The 'Petite' is doing what it does...

Things are coming along here. Still not a whole lot of growth so no real point in photos. Looks like the AS is finally slowing down on the leaching of ammonia. I tested .5ppm the day after a 50% WC yesterday. Anyone know how long it usually takes for it to stop? I'm also reading Nitrite (on...

I've got a 125 that I've contemplating getting rid of. The more I see like this the more I want to get it set up and planted. Looking great.

It's Christmas Moss. Should fill in well... Over the next few months.

Ok, one quickie. I just realized that I forgot to put a background on. Another project for tomorrow...

Well, I got the tree done and the A. Nana 'Petite' all done. I started to plant some of the hairgrass but I've got to get ready for my pool league. Looks like I'll have to finish tomorrow. I'll have some pics up then. Thanks for looking and commenting.

I've read the same as well. This 'Petite' grows so slow though that I won't have to worry about trimming for quite a long time.

I have the 'Petite' and moss now. Was hoping to pick up some Hairgrass from you so I can get it started. LOL

LOL, thanks. I'm loving it so far. Can't wait to get it planted so I can fill her up and get started.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I got the piece of wood at a LFS near by.

Thanks I'm going to keep this and the other ten gallon I'm working on low tec. Want to raise shrimp and don't want to make it any more difficult than it has to be. The 15g that I have with my RCS in it now, however, I'm thinking about doing DIY CO2 in the near future. I want to focus more on...

Just getting started but I wanted to get some input before I plant and fill 'er up. 10g Tank 23W CFL Lighting Aquasoil Amazonia Substrate AC 20 with prefilter sponge Going to use RO water only The idea is to plant some A. Nana 'Petite' around the base of the tree, something just a little...

Thank you for the kind words

Well, I'm about 150. By brother and his friend weigh about 250 each. I think they need to give my their candy bars.

Its been up for ten days as of now. The original stand for this thank was built in a similar manner but with less sturdy joints. It lasted for a good 30 years or so. Plywood is actually quite strong on end. Just take a look inside any commercially build stand. No 2x4's to be found. The...

Not yet. I'm in the process of setting up another tank for breeding and finding him a female. Hopefully in the next month or two I'll get that project going.

Nah. I got some nice healthy ones to help with the cycle. Its done now (I seeded with filter from another tank along with mulm and other stuff) but my brother wants to wait until he has a little more money to get his school of tetras. At that point the goldfish will go visit Stevie. This is...

Thanks everyone. Its still a work in progress. I have to figure out something out for the back right corner behind the cave but I like it for now. sarahh: Good luck with your setup. I'm having fun with mine so far. Looking forward to setting up another one. Oh, and the Mondo Grass is...
