55lt Shrimp Tank

Hi I just thought I would add some photos of my new shrimp tank. I am using the Dry Start Method so it will be a few weeks before I add any water.

I'm a sucker for roots and epiphytes.

As few from 2 weeks

Fascinating to see how it has developed. Maybe dry start is the way forward....

Sorry, maybe should have used thumbnails..... whoops

that looks awesome, what shrimp are you going to choose?

 

[tomh]

Mainly Crystal Reds but probably some pandas as well. I have a 30lt cube but have lost lots recently (and I mean lots) finally I have stopped losing them but I think its the substrate which is very thick, hence this has a very thin layer. I will be moving them across

i am amazed at how much growth there has been in 2 weeks

I tried George Farmers yogurt and moss blend on the rocks and wood in some places (center of photo) and its just starting to grow, so I am interested to see what it does

Thanks, let's hope so, I'll give it a couple of weeks to see how the algae goes now that I've put RO in, fingers crossed
