[carey]

well, on a happy note, tomorrow is Friday.

 

[Epuerto]

I know right lol

Since my tank only has 30inches of open water ate the top of the tank and I couldn't fit a high wattage lamp, what do you guys think of the marine land reef capable Lamp? Is it worth it? If it is would I be able to keep and coral? Or should I stick with my 2 65 watts? What can I keep with those? Lol

 

[Brough5754]

I've got one it's not too bad

 

[Epuerto]

Ok so I went to the fish store and I picked up a...... Dun Dun duuunnn.... Fire shrimp lol he is affiliating right now

 

[Epuerto]

Also my stupid stupid powerhead blew up the sand again would that affect the shrimp at all

 

[XxVooDooxX]

No it should be just fine

 

[Epuerto]

I'm not being over exaggerated but the shrimp has the deepest red and whitest white lol I'll snap a pick as fast as possible lol

 

[XxVooDooxX]

Cool. I'm gonna put one of those in my 100g. I love those shrimps!

 

[Epuerto]

Update I put him in the tank like 5 mins ago and he swam in and pooped himself in a nice overhang wen the water clears up we will see lol

 

[Brough5754]

My fire shrimp just died I'm looking into some other cleaner shrimp any suggestions

 

[Epuerto]

Idk that's sucks man, on the brighter note he moved out to the open and I thought since he is the first ever to explore my tank I decided to name Him Darwin lol tell me what you think

 

[Brough5754]

Love the name suits him well

 

[Epuerto]

hes getting really close to one of my powerheads so i shut it off to stup him from getting sucked in at night, was this a good idea?
heres a pic blurry but does show him acclimating

Eventually you might want to get a cover on your powerhead to prevent accidental casualties. But I would think our be fine for a night.

 

[Epuerto]

It does have a cover but I don't want his antennas getting damaged

 

[Epuerto]

alright what should i get next? should i take out my aquatech powerfilter and replace it with a magnum hob canister filter? replace it with a marineland emperor 400gph? what should i do
