Tank: Coopet Cube 27 Litre - Shrimp Tank
Dimensions: 30x30x30
Lighting: 11w
Substrate: I have never used anything other than sand or gravel before but i was thinking of trying the following, Oliver Knott NatureSoil Black or Flora Base. I know the Oliver Knott Naturesoil is shrimp safe but is the FloraBase ? or would you recommend i use something else ?
Also how much would i roughtly need for a tank of this size ?
Wood & Rock: I was thinking of using some Manzanita wood with some Mini Landscape rock from aquaessentials possibly the 5kg option, http://www.aquaessen...-kg-p-1437.html
Plants: Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Java Fern & Alternanthera Cardinalis. Im open for ideas on this so please feel free to fire any ideas my way. Do you have any recommendations for plants that shrimp would need such as moss ?
Ferts: El Dosing or Flourish ? What would be the best option for shrimp ?
Co2: Will i need to use any form of Co2 such as Flourish Excel ? Also will the shrimp be ok with it ?
Shrimp: Red Cherry Shrimp, how many could i have in this size tank ?
This is a new area for me and before so thought i would get some tips and ideas from the experts .
So what do you think of my ideas ? Please feel free to point out any mistakes, stupid ideas i may have written.
Like i say i have never tried a shrimp tank before so i am happy for any advice before i make a start.
Thanks for reading, and sorry for all the questions.
