My 3g Planted Shrimpy Tank.

[sunkenmetal]

thats the LED 3 gallon i see at petsmart.. have you been happy with it? is the LED enough for your plants?

i keep looking around for another shrimp tank type, since i may look to get different types of shrimp.. and the FLUVAL 7.9 seems like best bang for buck witht the filter, light, substrate and lid.. for the size of tank it is..

You talking about this one...

Yes the light has been great. I have fluorite substrate and I dose with excel every 3 or 4 days or when I remember. The filter that comes with it sucks, I trashed it. HAW has a nice little HOB Liberty that I put on it and it's working great. I moved the Red Sea Nano that was on it to my Puffer tank. It was working great as well but I wanted to quick cycle the puffer tank. now the puffer tank has a Eheim HOB and the Red Sea Nano.

yea.. i have seen that kit at petsmart.. its Marineland..

@sunken.. yep.. thats it.. i really like it.. i thought i was kind of price. but when you start piecing all the parts together.. i think it is actually a better bargin.. for a newbie to shrimp like me :)

[40GallonsOfDoom]

I paid like 30 bucks for it. And even though I trashed the filter I am pretty happy with the tank little stand and light.

[Warlock]

do you have a lid? or make one for it?

[40GallonsOfDoom]

came with it.

[Warlock]

oh even better! i did not think it did.. guess i didn't look hard enough :)

Bee shrimp are pretty sweet looking. Pretty expensive but cool...

You have any? I am gonna try to pick up some stuff in your neck of the woods today. Also would they breed with any of the ones I have? Not too interested in having interbreeding species.

Not 100% sure but I think that CRS are a variant of bee shrimp so yea they would interbreed.
