    Re: Starting a shrimp nano

    Make a diy cooling fan from a PC fan. On my CRS tank it drops the temp a few degrees. With it come increased evapoation& its problems.

      I was going to put together and acrylic top for this and can definitely cut room for 1 maybe 2 pc fans and get the led ones for a night effect.

              You could. It would eliminate the chance of chlorine and chloramines in the water. I'm not sure about the PH, TDS, and all that other good stuff and how it would affect your tank.

                    I added some of my mystery snails today just make sure that the water is good for inverts. So far so good.

                      What did you use to cycle the tank?

                        Starting a shrimp nano

                        I had two filters one that had been on my larger tank for near a month in anticipation of this build and the other cane with the tank bug I believe it was seeded as well. I also dosed with colony occasionally.

                          Novice here. Without a source of ammonia, won't the bacteria on the filters die off? How long would that take?

                          Aren't those snails pretty hardy compared to shrimp?

                            The Aquasoil that I used was a huge ammonia source. I still get spikes if disturb it. I'm sure the shrimp are more sensitive but I wanted to do a simple test that I had the livestock on hand for but I may go to petsmart later and pick up some ghost shrimp and let them wander in the tank for a while. I am not adding the that will later dominate the tank until I have gotten the scaping stone that I want in the tank so that I do not disturb the soil causing an ammonia spike killing stock. The tank will hold mainly OEBTs, maybe some taiwan painted shrimp (if I can find them for a decent price), and probably some snails unsure which at this point.

                              Makes sense. I did not know about the Amazonia releasing ammonia. Any idea if that is deliberate to make cycling tanks easier?

                                No clue. I found it out after it happened.
