Re: New tank setup
Hello, Setting up a new tank and I have some “new parent” worries. I ordered salt, substrate, limestone, lava rock, basalt, micro algae and a moss ball from Petshrimp to start a new 2 gallon tank. Will the bacteria on the algae and moss ball be enough to provide a healthy environment for the shrimp...

Re: Help me choose a tank!
Hey all! Thanks for the advice, and I apologize for not posting an update sooner. Mustafa, I did go with the hex tank on sliphorn and brantman19’s advice, and I’m glad that I did. Here’s a photo of it all decorated (mostly with supplies from this site, plus the coral from the EcoSphere and a lava r...

I am setting up two 2.5 gallon NanoCubes, one at my house and one in my media center at my school. I ordered everything from this site, except for the glas...

Any ideas on how to make algae and the macro algae grow a bit more?
Yes, leave it alone. Algae typically does not show up for at least two weeks, and often times three to four weeks. Do not add any more food.

Fill it up, leave glass lid on to prevent excessive evaporation.

Re: Dust algae
Do you have snails? They will eat alot of algae. Photos would help too.

Re: Help! Inexperienced shrimp owner
Hi all! New to this page but very excited to learn about taking care of these amazing creatures. My girlfriend got me an ecosphere for Valentine’s Day last year and I have loved it.

Is that a real sea fan? If so, I would remove it. Over time they can break down and become toxic.

Re: 0.3gal tank
Also, if it is feasible to make such a small tank work, will they be uncomfortable? I felt that since they were relatively few they’d be okay with limited space, but wanted to double check. .. I have a quart jar with seven shrimp currently in residence and they are doing great. I believe forum memb...

Re: Oxygen and gas exchange
Hello, do shrimp need open tanks? At the present I have a very small opening in my tank setup, a circle with about 2-3mm diameter. This is to avoid dust falling in. Do they need more, or is gas exchange relatively minor? Thanks! .. The small opening you have is just fine. What is the volume of your...
