My shrimp journey...

washywashy · 08-01-2013, 12:48 AM

Hi all, would like to share the joy of setting up my tank for shrimps. Here are the pics!

The stuff for the tank

Custom-made acrylic base to drain the condensation off the external walls of the tank

Laid the foam base that came with the tank

Placing the tank after washed and cleaned

The key players before the soil is added

Sprinkled BeeMax

Thin layer of soil followed by Mosura Old Sea Mud(not shown)

The pipings and Otto bubble stopper

Got the prefilter, had a bad experience with a brand new APA prefilter and had to go back to the shop to change

The soul of the setup

Voila!

Night shot

Currently cycling with Benibachi Shrimp Active Water

Hope you guys have enjoyed the pics! Are there any other products that is/are a must-have to keep the shrimps? I'll be getting a TDS meter soon. In case you guys are wondering, I'll be keeping PRL CRS in here
