Noodle Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi guys, been lurking around the forums for a while. I'm a long time reefer, new to the world of shrimping. I just love how low maintance these guys are compared to my reef tanks! Anyways here's my setup: tank: an old fluvel spec II (former desktop reef tank) substrate: inert florite water: ri/di water since I have it around for my reefs, remineralized with Bee Shrimp gh+ to a Tds of 150-170 ph ~6.5 decor/flora: manzanita branch with Fissidens geppi a few random crypts random mats of several mosses frogbits and duckweed floating anubis nana in the back chamber inverts: bunch of mini ramshorn snails 2 red bolts and 3 wr's I got from plamski, maybe I'll add some pandas; not sure if I want a mixed tank yet Amyers22 and Kurobom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm suspecting the wr in the first and last pic is a female, but I'm terrible at sexing them so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurobom Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Beautiful shrimp, and I dig the "living wall" style of mounting the moss on the side of the tank too. Are you able to maintain the pH without an active substrate? I thought inert ones were more meant for Neos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 The tap water in NYC comes out at that pH, tested the tank multiple times when it was first set up and I've never noticed any changes in the pH. Stays constant at 6.5. Never planned on hanging the moss, just didn't realize how big the sheet were when I got them. It was the only space open Kurobom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
