Re: Jar Tank

So I noticed this shortly after I introduced my shrimp to their new home. Haven't been able to spot this since, though...

Re: Jar Tank

So I've let the tank cycle for about 6 weeks. Now. I has had the macroalgae and two moss balls (and all the water that came with all that) in the tank pretty much that whole time.

I don't see really any evidence of algae growth anywhere. I haven't done much with specific lighting, relying mostly on ...

Re: Jar Tank

Thanks everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm planning to get 20 shrimp. I've been seeing that aquarium types take various steps to acclimate animals to the new environment of the tanks, e.g. letting the baggy with the the animal inside it float on the tank water or drip acclimation, etc. What's needed with the ...

Re: Jar Tank

I'm happy with how it's turning out! ๐Ÿ™‚

Now I'm looking forward to a splash of green so that I can get some shrimp in there! ๐Ÿ˜

BTW, does anyone know how to deal with bubbles on the rocks. I dried out the rocks a bit so the glue would work, and then let the glue set for a day so the water drained ...

Re: Getting Started

I built a little structure out of the lava rocks that I got and added some glass beads for colour.

Re: Getting Started

Got my stuff today so got my tank partially set up. I'm going to some lava rock tomorrow and a few glass beads for color.

We'll let it cycle for now!

Re: Getting Started

Thanks sliphorn. I spent some trawling the internet for what I was looking for but couldn't find any nice spherical containers that cost less than $200. I've gone with the jar.

I ordered the salt, substrate, algae, algaeball, and some lava rocks this evening so I can get the cycling going. I'll ...

Jar Tank

Hey shrimp folks,

I got one of those tiny ecospheres a while back. It died off, but I left it alone for 6 months an eventually a new shrimp hatched out of nowhere. I've since learned that the ecospheres are pretty unpleasant for the shrimp so I'd like to set up something a little more comfortable ...
