My 3 days old 3 feet shrimp tank- update after 1 month

Just set up last Friday

whats the parameters and lightings? You have too few plants and there might be algae issue.

If you maintain this setup, the moss wall will seem overwhelming. Add more woods and maybe plants on both side or at the center to form a small mould.

it is a 3 feet tank and the lighting is 2 x 36W PL. After a week the tank doesn't have any probelm with algae. Still waiting for the moss wall to grow.

hi ,
is it necessary to have co2 if the shrimp tank only have moss?

thanks

yours sincerely,

If it is a low mantain tank, CO2 may not be needed.

But with CO2 and other requirements satisfied, the moss will grow faster.

update after 6 weeks

Your tank will look spectacular once the moss fills in. Have you thought about putting moss walls on the sides of the tank?

[dominik]

Not intending to put moss wall at the side. Do not want to block my side views. The present moss wall is growing very slow due to the fact that during initial set up the moss wall is only thinnly cover with moss and open spaces between the moss.

i reckon the wood piece that is pointing stright up be pointing about 45 degrees or something....the straight up posture makes it too high tension looking at the tank...
