Test kits and other newbie stuff
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2005 6:48 am
Hello everyone. Still researching. Do most of you use test kits that are in strip form or with the vials/chemicals? And which tests are essential to have?
I am probably going to order cherry reds for my first adventure into having shrimp as pets. I just want to get the tank and everything ready BEFORE ordering the shrimp.
I am looking at getting a 12 gallon Eclipse System. I live in the NYC area and space is a premium at our place. I will order some kind of sponge filter to keep shrimp from being sucked up in the filtering system.
I would like to add a nice selection of natural plants to the tank. I do not have any greenspace where I live and really enjoy having green things around me.
In reading old posts, it seems that beginners get into more trouble using natural rocks and wood to decorate their tanks with. What are your thoughts on using the resin rocks and wood to decorate with?
That is probably enough stuff to post. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
