Great sense of depth youve created. Really like it. If it wasnt for the shrimp on the back glass the tank appears to go on and on. Really nice

Appreciated, the Frogbit has turned out really amazing, looks great around the moss, and can it grow, but so easy to keep in shape.

Ive been very happy with the Signature Tank/cabinet and led with white brackets.
Gary Nelson said:
That really nice, the shrimp look fab! What sort of power and duration do you run the tile at?
Click to expand...
Hi Garry.
The tile runs at 70%, and including the ramp up and down of 30 mins each side is on for a total of 7hrs.
I started at 45%, bringing it up gradually, over several months.

They seem to be very popular tanks, shrimps are my own, so im very happy with them.So tame and friendly, can spend hours watching their antics.
Iain Sutherland said:
Lovely tank fella, do you find they breed at all with co2? I appreciate that isnt the aim but curious...
Click to expand...
Good question. But i don't know the answer, as they are not yet old enough, probably another month. It will be interesting to see if any shrimplets appear.
To keep them happy, im very careful with fertts, and CO2.
Up to now i i have only bred shrimps in dedicated tanks , with no CO2, min fert, and no fish, and as you know works well.
cheers.
 
Very nice Al! stunning in the flesh too..

beautiful shrimp and those oto's look fantastic, award winning standard I'd say, lol
 
I have to admit i am tempted by the TMC lights, they are nice and the brackets are very tidy.
