I have had my opae Ula tank with 5 shrimp running for approx. a month. I keep the salinity level as suggested by Mustafa and rely purely on a sponge for filtration purposes. Unfortunately brown algae has now started taking over the tank. Because the tank is triangular I have trouble cleaning the in ...
