I do hope it turns out to be sweet as a lot of time, effort & $$$ had gone into it

It's an ADA imitation I guess. Clear glass (can't remember the type), more expensive than normal ones but cheaper than ADA's. Recommended by guy @ lfs

Haha! Yes very right! Just a small 1' cube that's all. No luxury to have 2' like yours or more than 1 tank

how many litres of water is in there?

Bigger than yours? Is yours a pico tank, bro?

Err...it should be ~27l. But with the soil should be slightly less. Then again there's still water in the canister & chiller...so would make up to be the same or slighty more.


Forgot to mention earlier...itchy fingers me went & bought 3 low grade crs...unlucky for them to be my guinea pigs but hope they're lucky enough to survive. Just couldn't resist the temptation to try it out

Acclimated for 3hrs before going in the tank. Seem to be doing ok thus far...colors are back to normal now. *fingers crossing time*

Mine 10 liters niah.

Nice....recently i feel more like on those 1ft cube tank~
Now hand itchy plan to setup new 1ft cube tank with only shrimp and think to use sand instead of ADA soil...

I have one ordinary tank and the other was my 1st time bought it. Didnt know what it was but have the curve edge. They are 2 ft tank. Must keep budget down. After all its only me watching them. Better give them healthy food.

Oh, OK. Thought it was bigger than that. Well I had something smaller than 10l before... hardly could make anything nice out of that size, hence the 'upgrade'

Thanks. Go go... go set up another 1' cube tank. Keep some PRLs in it...

That's nice. Likely you'll have to get another small one since your shrimps are healthily breeding. All 3 types of Neos are in the same tank or separate? I think at least 2 types would be in the same tank?

Yeah, agree. I'm giving them different shrimp food on alternate & spinach. Malayans seem to devour the spinach more than the reds.

Seriously thinking of adding a couple of fish in here. Most of my collegues think I'm just keeping water plants since the shrimps are always hiding.

Maybe too bright....shrimps are shy.... or get more shrimps....

I support the latter.... get more shrimps!!!

How many and what shrimps do you currently have in there bro?

Btw, tank looks very nice and clean... just after wc?

P/S: That's your daughter?

I think so too. Last time kiasu bought overpowered LED light.

Err.. I got 2 shrimps only

Quite paranoid about keeping the tank as clean as possible. Not necessarily a good thing.

ps: yeah that's my princess

Flourish and shrimp doesnt go well. Need the other brand...

That one is Excel wor... and I under dose.

Can let me know later?

Anyway it's been working ok for me. I just dose ~20% of the dosage.

guys...someone create a new thread before it get nuked for over 2500 post ?

Can't wait to start rearing shrimp. Have to wait my friend pass me the water tank.

Any tips for noobs?

All newbies will cry 1st....learning curve....after that only all will be ok....

I got my sifu to guide me but I think sure got mishandling one .

Not as easy as rearing fish as need to keep the temp in check

lily64my Why don't you open the new thread and PM mod to close this since you're pretty active here and sifu arrow is busy.

I think it should be OK as long as it's not overdosed. Pretty much the same as when we inject CO2 in our tank... as Excel is just carbon but in liquid form.

I'm also injecting CO2 into my tank & dose flourish comprehensive 1x or 2x a week... shrimps are doing fine... of course... have to be careful on dosage Also dosing BW Lush.

Blue one... hmm... can't be Seachem Stability right?


Haha... I agree on that... just a matter of how much 'crying' there would be
For me it was more on the failure when I initially set up the plants... thankfully not on shrimps.

Guess as long as enough homework is done beforehand the damage could be less/avoided altogether. Then again... it's why we have forums here... to learn and share
