huh, ok. not even a small sponge filter in the corner?

:) itll be a little bit until i have it all together. but i will be posting some updates as it all falls into place. ill be using 40lbs of the spectrastone substrate instead of the previous 20. and ill be getting a RO unit and shrimp minerals also. i expect to have it all by the new year. the only t...

thanks for the feedback Mustafa! i guess i will have to keep looking for then. i have seem some larger ones that im more confident are shrimplets. are the copepods going to cause me any trouble?

the brown algae is diatoms i believe. i leave them for my shrimp as they are high in calcium and good for the exoskeleton of the shrimp.

i felt the same way about the sponge filter, it helps the water stay very clear which i like also

thats what im looking for! lol. algae can stay, but i want crystal clear water!

thanks for the feedback im gona be using my 20H again. ive been doing some more reading and im gona use aragonite with lavarock and some dead corals. im thinking about running a small sponge filter (CAF-10) and running it with a whisper 10 air pump, i know its not necessary but it would make me more...

so i am going to be setting up my 40B for, well, breeding ghost shrimp. i can get 100 for 77.99 with shipping included. They are .43 each and 34.99 for overnight shipping. for equipment ill be using: a tetra 60 to power two dual sponge filters a 125w ehiem jager heater spectrastone substrate (20lbs)...

alright, thanks guys! im gona get some lava rock. how much should i use for a 40B? and what substrate? could i use crushed coral?

thanks for all the feedback i will get some of that limestone texas holey rock then. i also have a piece of lava rock, would that be ok to put in there?

im going to be setting up a supershrimp tank by the time the new year rolls around. most likely my 20H unless i get a 20L before then. can i put live rock in there? or will the salinity not be proper thanks in advance

have you tried googling it? i have never seen anything like this before o.o

the 72BF is up and running! ill get pictures after i finish arranging the decorations. it looks 100 times better than the 40B on the metal shelf

Hey April! did you do the 10gal ghost setup?

how unfortunate. do you still have the tank set up? if so, post the water parameters and we could possibly help a bit more.

thanks for the input Ken. i know a half gallon of prime would last for thousands of gallons, but 2lbs of ST lasts hundreds of thousands, if not millions. and it costs $10. also! i started a blog today. lol. got my first post about the very basics on so far. each day i'll do a new post about somethin...
