Little update again here My first attempt of setting up my tank didn't go pretty well, everything went pretty bad after my last post here :? I threw out the sand + cultured rocks and only kept the lava rocks and decoration pieces which I boiled before using again. The new tank has been running for a...

Your tank does not look cycled at all. That is probably part of the problem. Another part may be that your "cultured rock" already has all kinds of dead organics on it that pollute the water create bacterial blooms. I can tell you from experience that a lot of biofilm species die pretty m...

Are the white things on the glass moving? If so I have been through a similar situation. They can actually be beneficial. The white dots ( and some are a little longer than a dot, like a tiny worm) are moving around yea :-D They're barely visible to the eye, so not like I'll be able to photograph t...

Little update: I don't think my tank is doing all too well :roll: I'm thinking I might have to empty the entire tank and refill it again... But I hope to hear some of you guys advice first, since I have no clue what to do :-D I went to check on my tank in my flat. The snails are still alive and I ha...

Alright, the dead shrimp question I already answered for myself...
Within the last couple days they got torn into pieces and I think the only thing that remains of the 3 dead shrimps is a tiny patch of red...

Hey So, yesterday I got some opae ula for the first time, so ofcourse it comes with a couple of questions since it's the first time I'm setting up a tank as well :-D . I've been browsing the forum a couple days and probably overlooked some of the already asked questions, so I'm sorry if some questio...

woops, correct that first 0 to a 1 , specific gravity 1.013.

Guess can only try and see what works. If my marimo is still alive in half a year I'll let you know

Thanks for clearing that up Mustafa So If I put the gravity between 3-6 ppt will the shrimps still reproduce? Or maybe I'm better off getting a seperate tank if I want them to breed. I have an empty tank right now that's at +- 0.013 right now, this is where I've put the marimo in couple weeks ago th...

Really? I did a little research before getting the marimo ball and most websites I found said that they can live in either fresh water or brakish water ( up to 1.015) :? ( Found the following information on wikipedia In Lake Akan the epilithic filament form of marimo grow thickest where dense salty ...

Hey New member here :D Recently got interested in these little shrimps and I set up a 30L aquarium for the very first time. Who would've thought that haha. Through these shrimps I also discovered the Marimos, those little mossballs who are also pretty interesting in itself. I know a friend of mine a...
