Starting a shrimp nano

What substrate did you change to? Looking for something like ADA Aquasoil but won't drop the pH so low.

Just waiting on plants and an adapter from Tim. Stock is Sakuras, Otos, Chilis, nerites, and pink ramshorn.

It is easier to beg forgiveness.

Splurged last night buying upgrades. Bought 20g Hagen co2 kit with drop checker, 2211, 13mm DoAqua! Lily pipe knock off from Hong Kong, 12"x12" dwarf hair grass mat, moss balls, dwarf sag, and a few other plants.

Updated it some. The substrate is a combination of aragonite and PFS. I have gone to just the sponge filter as well.

I would keep the sponge and biomax and sit the purigen on top

Redid the scape because the java moss was blocking a lot of the view. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355250381.505281.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1355250401.728148.jpg

Also removed everything from the ac20 except the purigen.

Went from a 15 to a 7.5 watt and been stable around 83-84.

[mistahoo]

So I went out and bought a small 15 watt heater for this tank nuts its not adjustable so if I leave it plugged in the temp stays around 85-86 but if I unplug it, it drops to around 73 at night. I'm planning on getting a timer for it after pay day but which is my better option til then?

Return it and find a heater that keeps the temp around what you want. My 15watt keeps the temp at 76F

That's good. My zebra nerites keep my tank algae-free. They clean the plants and everything. I don't remember the last time I used my algae magnet, but I can tell you it's been well over a month. I have way too much light for my tank and I run the lights for 12 hours a day.

Moved 2 Olive Nerites earlier and already have about 10% of the algae in the tank gone.
