Rivergardennursery Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I welcome any imput, before I add the SL-Aqua powder and start to cycle. This is my 6 gallon desktop, I am trying out for work I am not sure what shrimps I will keep yet. Maybe something flashy but simply, so people at work might get intrested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I love it! What is that rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I Like it very much! I love how you left the other side open. You can get better viewing of your shrimp when you feed them on the open side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivergardennursery Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I love it! What is that rock? Thanks, when I bought it, they called it dragon stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 input with what..the scape/rock layout ? The flow or astics of the look. I will be adding ground cover. I just wanted to get feedback on if it flowed or was distracting, or lacking to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Love the layout. Basically, you seem to have used the rule of thirds that I hear designers talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hey RGN, you may have checked this but I would want enough clearance between the rock and glass on the left side and back of the aquarium. You never know if you'll want in there with tweezers or suction. That is a really good looking tank and setup, nice balance. I'm jealous. Your aura blues could look good in there, but I'm thinking anything will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivergardennursery Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I like it. Plans on any plants? Yes, just not sure what yet. I have some nice Java on Mat I might try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I vote for mini pellia. (I always vote for mini pellia!) Can't stand Java moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeshrimp Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I vote for mini pellia. (I always vote for mini pellia!) Can't stand Java moss. Java moss is great if you want a fast growing moss and don't care for an aquascape. I've grown quite fond of fissidens myself.

Shrimp Life Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Fissidens or mini christmas moss on some parts of the rocks would look amazing! Java Moss doesn't have as nice of a uniform look as some other mosses... And it grows pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jynn Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Looks really nice, what kind of shrimp are you going for? I had looked into dragon stone a while back and saw reports of it raising PH, so decided against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oem Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I love the simple but dramatic highs of the cliffs down to what looks like the rolling shoreline. I can already envision the shrimp searching each and every crevice in the rock. Maybe something coming out of the cliffs looking like a lone tree where a seed was able to take hold. I can see my CPOs really diggin that rock. ,,,,Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Great start! Definitely looking forward to the journey, First impressions so far? Parameters with soil already? Hardscape will be nice and friendly for shrimp to hide if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivergardennursery Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Added some moss and Plants. I am almost 2 weeks in. I will do a 50% water change soon and add the ro/di water back with the SL-Aqua. Then I will be close to ready for the Shrimp. Still not sure what I want to have in this setup Bucephaland Silver Powder svetilda and fishface 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
