As for the washing mashine...is the tank *on* the washing machine? Once a week should be ok either way, though.

Of course not, haha. It’s in the hallway nearby on a long table. But the spin cycle vibration is a little strong. So I was just making sure it wasn’t going to be harmful as I was ...

It’s been about 3 days and the water is still slightly cloudy. Is this normal? I did some searching on the forum and I think it should’ve cleared up by now?

Also - I realized that the water very, very gently ripples when the washing machine/dryer is running. This would only occur once a week at ...

Super cute! I can't wait for my tank to cycle so I can see precious moments like these

Thank you Jess! I took a long time searching for the exact decor I wanted. :-D And the sea urchin did stop "smoking" thankfully.

I measured the substrate and it's +/- 1 inch depending on where you measure, so I scooped some out to be safe and made it slightly more level all around. I can't waaaaait ...

I just noticed this little stream of white coming from the hole at the top of the sea urchin shell. Is this just calcium? It looks like a thin flume of "smoke" underwater, rising up to the surface.

Finally got my tank set up!

Slightly less than 1 gallon glass jar, put half the amount of salt as directed on the package and mixed as well as I could. Soaked all decor for a few minutes and rinsed with distilled water.

The future home has a barnacle, some urchin shells, coral bits, and a sea fan ...

So you don't have anything live besides the shrimp?

The only live things I plan to have besides the shrimp are the macroalgae and the super shrimp mossball from Petshrimp - and maybe some snails, not sure.

But yeah, everything else will be inert/dead. I plan to get a dried sea fan, sea urchin ...

In regards to the barnacle piece? I contacted the seller and she told me they were once real, but now dead. So it would work as calcium.

Thank you both so much for the help!

I will pick up some Imagitarium brand sand, and I found the exact salt as you pictured :)

This may be a dumb follow up question - but these are considered seashells right? As long as they are real? (for the calcium purpose) I'm trying to go very minimal for my ...

Hi everyone :smt006 ,

I have searched up, and down these forums and I feel like there's mixed/unclear answers for what I am searching for. I just want to be 100% secure in my purchases to ease my paranoia about raising these little shrimpies.

I'm planning to purchase a 0.5 gallon cube glass tank ...
