Whilst my big tank is growing in in the back ground I thought I'd get another journal going purely for shrimp and maybe a couple of my paros in one..
So I've gone and got 2 fluval spec 19litres to try and scape up which I thought would be a fun challenge.
Both will be on opposite sides of the kitchen so will hopefully be a nice feature as you walk in.
Specs:
2 x Fluval Specs 19 litre in white
Lighting: 2 x 7500k led lighting included
Filtration: inbuilt at the back with media included
Heating: tanks will just be at room temp so around 20 degrees but have some nano heaters incase. (especially if adding paros)
Substrate: Red bee sand 8kg with some genchem biozyme sprinkled on the Base.
Fertilisers: Seachem Aquavitro plant range. premier Envy Synthesise Propel Activate Mineralize
And will be adding some tantora catappa essence from shrimp and scape
Co2: non.
Hardscape: both will have some gorgeous locally collected lava type rock (see pics below) that have a honeycomb look. All are inert.
Nano Redmoor bought from Ed at www.freshwatershrimp.co.uk
Plants. Eleocharis sp, hydrocotyle tripartia, microsorum trident and bolbitus
Oh and Fissedens Fontanus
Both tanks ready

And just a couple of variations of the rock I will be picking from.
Will be getting stuck in once I've finished adding more plants to the big tank courtesy of Tom. His bucket of mud will live on.....kind of
Thanks for looking
