sifoos and taikors... newbie here got a few questions wanna ask... can ah??..
now i got a running 1.5ft tank in my room... and soon to have 2ft tank (after i clean up the silicon).... gonna use 1 for normal planted and fish tank while another mainly for shrimps....
which should i go for shrimp tank??.. i've considered a few options...
1.5ft is smaller, hence can locate my shrimps easier.... and it is up and running... i dont need to take 3-4weeks to run in the tank before start having shrimps inside.... but the problem is unstable water parameter compare to larger 2ft tank...
2ft tank i gonna start a new... new ADA soil (most probably)... new scape and so on... will need time to run in the tank before having shrimps inside...
in the mean time i'm considering having 1.5ft as shrimps only tank and 2ft for fish tank as it has larger room for more community fish... but i'm gonna locate my 1.5ft tank in room with water temp 29oC at highest temp... afraid my shrimps wont make it.... i already had fan running for this tank...
2ft tank gonna put in living room... which i believe much cooler environment compare to my room... 2ft tank will have more stable/lower water temp...
which should i choose??... 1.5ft for shrimp or fish??...
tank location is fixed as 2ft cant fit inside my room and the 1.5ft has no extra space outside the living room...

2ft for shrimps......as drew and yujin mention..higher volume...more stable ur parameters are....
..IMHO tho

I agree with playerseeker here, if you're serious with CRS, then go for the 2feeter, less headaches 
And if you're just for shrimp and low tech plants .. 55w is nice.

IMHO, 2ft is better....And if you're just for shrimp and low tech plants .. 55w is nice.
Drew
what you plan to put inside, plants of course...
if just merely low tech plant (meaning not high requirement plants), just put 20~30W of lighting is enough..
don listen to chupps...
adding 55W is ready for glosso type of plants liao....
FYI, adding more W of light increase the temp also...
