Jayr_Tigley Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I am now starting a journal for my 1st rack because why not? I first started to have shrimps in a 2.5g and guess which one i had first? Red Cherries !!! And then i started to sell my bettas and had only shrimps until i reached the point that i had shrimps in 2 2.5g and at a 1 5g. I currently live in europe but im originally from asia so i thought at some point, i might visit my home country for a while but who will do my shrimp tank regime for me? I had none so i was quite worried mostly about w/c since i only have a 2.5g and 5g and i cant possibly leave them without a w/c for at least 2 weeks. So i decided, why not sell my nanos and move them to a bigger tank that why i wont worry much about their waste and they should clear 3 weeks without w/c just fine. I currently have 4 13.5 gallons which 2 of them are already set up and 2 of them needs to be setted up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayr_Tigley Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 All of my set up will be just for breeding purposes. Which means i will only have *sponge filter *substrate/gravel/sand (depending on what kind of shrimp will be living in the tank) *driftwood *lighting *moss *termometer *heater (will be on just for the winter time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I was talking water temperature. LOL They'll grow in any light! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Usually the higher the light, the more compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh dang. Made me worried for a moment xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I was talking water temperature. LOL They'll grow in any light!I've killed two or three types of moss using a Finnex Fugeray (I think the "color temperature" on that is 7000K) and also with a "cool white" (2300K). So uh, I beg to differ ... Mosses don't *always* grow under every light! Just most kinds. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Im having good results with the current usa plus... I think its 6500k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks chib. Yeah, I may have overstated that a little- but the hardier types like Java I don't think would do badly. Of course that's only going from hearsay. I use daylight cfls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I will buy a t8 and 2 cfls in 6500k just to be in the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The remaining 2 tanks are now up and cycling but their lights are still no good and is just temporary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 6500k is good for almost all plan ts as long as the light penetrates right down to the bottom you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
