Deep Blue 3 Gallon Questions!

[Jonnywhoop]

Looking into getting a 3 gallon deep blue as a shrimp tank. Im just trying to figure out the lighting situation... I was looking at a finnex ray 2 at 18inches but I think itll become an algae disaster. The tank itself is going to be mostly mosses, with maybe some plants like s.repens, UG... Unless I just focus on the shrimp and cut all excess plants out.

Just would like some feedback as to how I can go about setting up this tank the right way!

PS: I guess i still need to decide whether plants or shrimp is more important. Theres a chance I might just scrap the whole plant idea and go just moss and soil, but i mean hey, this is a planted tank forum, It would kill me not to aquascape this 3 gallon hard! haahha
