Pokeshrimp Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Petco was having an online sale and i snagged a brand new spec III for $41 shipped. Going to be setting it up for my wife's desk at her work. She wants it fairly simple scape so she can easily see the shrimp. I'm going to be getting 10 CRS with fluval stratum. Just wanna see other spec III shrimp tanks for ideas.thanks! Louie and Shrimp Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetilda Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I tried to snap a picture of mine but I hate to see my reflection on the glass. So, it's best I could without me. I have some hornwort in there, willow moss, unknown to me moss, some moss that I bought as Christmas but I don't think it is, round pelia on a cholla wood, mini pelia on a small lava rock and on a ledge, a bucephalandra that doesn't do well, and some floaters that don't do well either (too much of current). The coolest thing I have in this little tank is a Turkish hazelnut. In the tank live about 40 mischling/red panda babies, 5 tibees and 2 nerite snails.

I notice you have a wooden ''block'' in there which I have seen in a couple of pics here . What is it for ? svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetilda Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Are you asking about a piece on right side? Where the buce is surviving? If so it's not a wood. It's supposed to be a lava rock but actually it's different kind of a rock. It was in a bag with lava rocks I bought at HD and I didn't pay attention when tied the buce to it. I just need to take a real lava rock and retie the buce because it doesn't do well there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 The block next to food dish . Perhaps it isn't wood I'm just going by looks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svetilda Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Cube? It's not wooden. They sell them as a shrimp shelter, maybe? I bought them when I just started shrimping, was thinking it's cute. Actually it's pretty much useless but right now I use them when starting a new tank. I drop them in a new tank from existing tank in hopes it contains some ammount of good bacteria on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jynn Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 The lil cube is unglazed ceramic. Ive got a couple too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The cube is called SUDO shrimp cube. They really do nothing, but shrimps climb all over them. svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackhead Johny Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm up to 4 spec 3s. Here is a shot of the aquascaped Fluval on my desk (yes the flame moss needs its monthly crew cut). the next is the puffer you may be able to spot in the first photo, I think a ghost shrimp is also visible. The last shot shows the noticeable dimming between a light with 3 months on it and one with 2 months on it. The puffer tanks has 4-5 months on it maybe 6(?) so it looks like the rate of dimming slows down. I could post pics of the other one but it is also just a betta tank. My wife's Fluval Spec 5 is in some state of overgrown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Great looking tanks! Found some black lava rock when i was walking around the neighborhood with the kids. Stole some anubias from my other tanks, just waiting on some fissidens covered cholla logs and it should be done! svetilda, Rivergardennursery, Shrimp Life and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
