I have a 30 gallon high tech tank and I'm setting up a GLA 36-L high tech iwagumi setup. I've now decided to set up the 10 gallon tank that's just been taking up space for a low tech/low maintenance shrimp tank. Here's what I've got:
Standard 10 gallon glass aquarium and stand
Basic cheapo hood with 15W T8 fixture
Aquaclear 20 HOB filter
Aqueon heater that came with the kit when I got it 3 years ago
I'm planning on using Fluval Shrimp Stratum for substrate.
Here's the plants I'm wanting to keep:
Anubias barteri var. nana "petite"
Anubias barteri var. coffeefolia
Bolbitus heudelotii (african congo fern)
Microsorum pteropus (java fern)
Cryptocoryne wendtii green
Cryptocoryne lutea
Cryptocoryne balansae
Some sort of moss, undecided among: Fissidens fontanus, Singapore moss, flame moss, willow moss
As far as stocking goes, only a few otos and painted fire red shrimp.
Does anyone with experience in low tech setups have any suggestions or foresee any problems with keeping these in a low tech setup?
P.S. Oh yeah, this whole scape will be created around a piece or two of manzanita branch and some extra sieryu stones that I have left over.
