i also use a AC w/sponge over intake with no problems

I would choose something like an Aquaclear 50 or 70 with a sponge covering the intake. You can adjust the flow rate as needed.

well there is the green shrimp, and a few more that need

Needs soft to medium hard, alkaline water over the long run. Should not be kept in acidic water at all.

they should be ok i assume.

i was going through the caridina varities and they mostly need soft acidic water to feel well and breed, problem is i have hard alkaline water so i dont wanna put them at risk since my cherries are in hard alkaline water, but id like to have a lil diversity.

most my shrimp are under a 1/2" so it was hard too tel what was what. and they are to hard to count since they are so small

aight, well mine are white and look just like the pic above so im guessing they molted. they are a lil more timid if that helps determine.

Do u thin it will be a problem in the 20high and what species ...

it turns out was wrong on we have hard water here i tested it n it was around 150ppm

here on long island we have generally soft water, so my shrimp tank is soft and neutral to alkaline water that mean they wont breed?

if you right click on the red X and jit properties and copy the web url and paste it into your browser the images will show.....nice pics

no ferts as there are no plants. i use seachem prime on all my tanks

i do water changes on all my tanks weekly. i ask because right now im holding my shimp in a small 2gal which we all know the smaller the tank the harder it is to control water quality. i just tested it an its at 10ppm.

do you think it would be beneficial to put nitrate absorbing pads in my filters for my shrimp tank? (non-planted tank)
