Need advice on my new shrimp tank

[badabing]

Hi All,

I am a new member and been reading this forum and need some advice. I am planning to set up an aquarium for CRS shrimp. I have 2 options and want to hear from you guys which one to set up. Here are the options :

Option 1:
Aquarium size W60cm×D30cm×H36cm capicity 60L
Eheim ecco pro 2234 600l/h
chiller 1/10
outlet lily pipe and inlet pipe 13mm

Option 2:
Aquarium size W60cm×D30cm×H36cm capicity 60L
Eheim ecco pro 2236 750l/h
pre filter
chiller 1/10
outlet lily pipe and inlet pipe 13mm

Thank you.

is a better choice as the flow rate will be affected after you line up all the equipments.

you may be left with 70-80% of 7500LPH

To Eviltrain,

Thanks for the answer. I will go for the option 2. Should i put coarse filter pad inside the prefilter ? Any suggestion ?

[eviltrain]

just put white wool in the pre-filter for mechanical filtration.

change the white wool once it look very dirty or your water flow slows down.

fill up your canister with bio media for bio-filtration.

To Eviltrain,

Which one is better to use lily glass or popy glass if i want to have shrimps in my tank ? Any recomendation on how many shrimps should i put in 60x30x36 cm? I read on other forum, they recommend 1 liter for 1 shrimp. What do you think, Thanks

Adding on, what is a poppy glass? I see lily outlet before but poppy?

[eviltrain]

Its all depends on you filtration capacity, my 2 feet tank can handle up to 400 pc of shrimps because of my over filtration (using a dummy canister inline with the filtration system)

Send from my GT-P1000 (Overcome 7 Series v4.0.0)

To Darter,

Here is a picture of poppy glass that i got from ADA. May be it's using different name when it comes from different manufacture. Thanks
