im gona say evolutionary sense animals are more in tune with the universe (and world) than we are.

go with 5+ if you have the space :p it never hurts to go as big as you can.

try bringing the ph down to 6.5 and whats your gh and kh? try also raising the temp to 73/74. sent you a link with some useful information.

I just bought a large 5 liter (1.3 gallon) glass coca cola bottle. Is this a good vessel for super shrimp? I'd imagine I can fit 1 gallon of water (maybe a bit less) with sand substrate. I have some corals, but can't imagine how I can position them nicely. I'm not new to super shrimp, I have a 1.8 ...

mine gots 69.5 the lowest and 71.3 the highest no heater. got down to 68.7 with negative temps outside. but i also have a larger volume of water so my temp is a bit more stable.

i love it! the minimalist is good for the shrimp anyway no?

did a little research regular seawater is 35g/L these dinos do best in 24g/L. our tanks are not even close to that. im guessing we're somewhere around 15 to 18g/L. i dont know if it would cause them to die if you added them. maybe you could drip acclimate them? i would try growing them first and pla...

the idea sounds cool. i guess as long as it not a chemical and they dont die off in massive amounts causing an ammonia spike it should be ok. i suppose it cant hurt to give it a shot. got a link to these things? ill try it out.

glad to see the shrimps are doing so well! might be earlier breeding this year because of el nino? i read were supposed to have an early spring this year anyway. doesnt seem like it with 14" of snow on the ground and more on the way though. hope the shrimps continue to do well :) and happy shri...

its been a while, but im still super excited! i had the 40B up and cycling for a monthish, and had my snails and algae on order. i couldnt wait till they arrived! well they arrived. while i am on vacation. which was my biggest fear about leaving!! anywho, my mom found the package at the door and tol...

very nice! as for the growth, it could be a lack of nutrients in the water maybe?

Thanks Mech! Great idea! i didnt see anything i liked at the store today. maybe tomorrow ill go to the other one a bit farther away. i know they have fan corals. a shelf of real dead ones and i think a couple plastic ones. if it comes down to it i can always just buy some tall plants to put in the b...

snails and algae ordered. i cant believe this is actually happening im so excited!

ya, im thinking im going to find some taller decorations/larger rocks. im not gona say its hard to fill a 40B with decorations but i want to keep it natural and its a lot of space. lol. temp is up to 68.5 today. maybe ill order the algae and some snails then. thanks for the input Varanus

temp is on the low side as its winter. the house is at 68, so 66 isnt bad for 40gal no heater. i do have a pup in for circulation to cycle the tank. but im going to remove it before i put the shrimp in. i want the algae to grow evenly around the tank. im going to add one tetra food pellet once a wee...
