Evo Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hey everyone first time shrimper here. hopefully all goes well! These tanks were set up 6 weeks ago and are all cycled and ready to go now. Both tanks are set up nearly identically, but the bottom tank also has an AC 20 with matrix and purigen in it. Any questions just ask away. I'm using Salty Shrimp GH+ Params: GH 5-6 KH 0-1 PH 6.5 TDS 105 Temp 73 0/0/5 Have some nice CRS coming in tomorrow, will post pics. Tanks on rack For some reason only my Java moss melted back while the tank was still leeching ammonia. It's finally starting to grow back some green!

DETAquarium Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Tanks look great! Those are great sizes to start with, what type of substrate are you using? TDS is 105 but your GH is 5-6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using aquasoil. A TDS of 100 gives me 5 GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maylee Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's a great looking tank, especially for a first timer Big fan of the simple look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 CRS! I'll try to take some better pictures when they get a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Been awhile since last update! Both tanks are doing well. FTS Ordered 10 blue dreams from blue crown aqua last week! Most are still quite small. While I was waiting for shrimp to come in for the second tank, I kept a few harlequin rasboras in to keep up the bb. Now I have what I believe is a single rasbora fry! Best picture I could get for now, it's constantly darting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Blue Dream won't do well in acidic water. I keep them in inert substrate with pH around 7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Blue Dream won't do well in acidic water. I keep them in inert substrate with pH around 7.5 We shall see how it goes then. I believe they will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
