My CRS Tank - In Progress

[Mafia00]

hi all

This is my Tank, been cycling for near 2 weeks. please feel free to give comments on what i can improve on.

Going to intro some low grade shrimps to test the water.

Just want to check what are the important products i need to buy to intro in my tank before i put the shrimps.

One more thing, is diamond water or RO water suitable for the shrimps because been considering whether i should use diamond or RO water instead of tap water.




Sorry for the lousy pics. using my photo to take it.

nice backdrop. really love it. but i think your mesh is too under planted. will take a very long time to grow.

[kendrick_86]

seems like it is a 1 feet cube tank. have to have better control over the parameters bro.

i love the backdrop too. its unique.

A bit too little hiding space for shrimps.

I am using Diamond water, so far so good.

thanks for the comments. should i add somemore stuff for the shrimps to hide?

By using Diamond water do i still need to age it??

what tonic should i get before adding the shrimps?

[kendrick_86]

what does ro water stands for?

RO = Reverse Osmosis

Products that you can buy to introduce into your tank are mosura mineral plus to adjust to adequate gh, mosura old sea mud rock powder. This should suffice for a basic setup.

you can also get the shrimp shelter constructed from 6 ceramics sold at c328. If i remembered correctly i bought it for $6 each. Located somewhere on the shelves outside.

curious to know the answer too, can diamond water be used directly?

[eviltrain]

brother madnugget,
diamond water filter will removes chlorine and other harmful stuffs. it works like hyflux.
since it removes some the the stuffs in the water, i will ad mosura mineral plus and old sea mud to it.

thinking what to add for more shelter for the shrimps. if i leave it as it is.. will it stress the shrimps?

Did you buy the background wood skin from Nature Aquarium? Saw them selling too.

What is that at the top left corner of the tank ?

[kendrick_86]

it should be the ph slip indicator.
