MikeOKC Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I built this tank out of 3/8" acrylic about a month ago for my first shrimp tank. It is 13 gallons and I started the cycle with water and a sponge filter from my 55 gallon tank. I also put some endlers and plants from 55 gallon tank. I just received some Dream Blue Velvet shrimp from Aquatic Arts on Wednesday and so far so good!!! These little guys are very entertaining and seem to be doing well (thanks to following all the advice on this great forum). Where I live the water is hard so I chose to go with Neos to start my invert hobby but, I am sure I will build another tank when I get an RO filter to try some of the other type shrimp. Thanks for viewing and hope you all have a great weekend!!! Faralon, Jaykidding, Shrimpscales and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
