your crs tank: low or high tech?

[winq]

hi guys, hearsay shrimps n plant never mix well together.

means once u go for planted tank, u cannot keep alot or high grades.

if u go for shrimps tank ur plant gonna suffer cos irregular/less co2, fert or iron.

is that true?

I dont have demanding plants with my shrimps, but i always thought that the low demanding moss looks the best with shrimps

i got a super low tech nano that has not only survived for 6 months but gave me 2 babies. i use duck weeds and singapore moss on a charcoal. very low maintenance but require watchful eye

Just a sponge filter for me, a driftwood with moss and 1/4 water changes every 2 weeks.

Hi bro winq, there is no such thing like "a guarantee way" in shrimp keeping.

Many breeders and shrimp keepers out there have their own way of keeping, so the main factor just lies on you. See which way of keeping suits you most.

i think it's doable.
though it would be easier for an experienced planted tank hobbyists to add CRS to his tank then vice versa. it's best to know how to manage planted tanks and its requirements/maintenance first. then let the tank mature for 6-12 months before adding CRS. reason being by that time, all the algae issues and fert dosage adjustments would have been ironed out or become more manageable. hobbyist would not have to twig the tank parameters too much and that will help to keep the CRS happy and healthy.

personally i came across quite afew problems just keep crs in a low tech tank.
But am quite amazed that some people can keep them in high tech tanks although i noticed the grades tend to be lower... just my newbie observation.
