Very nice!!! My bedroom is the only room with out a aquarium, I am hoping to sneak one in and hopefully the wife approves lol. What is the name of the reddish plant in the middle?
If anyone in here has any flora, fauna or anything else for sale post up. All my tanks are getting started and I hope to be able to provide anything I can to those in the
GREAT STATE OF TEXAS!
Ok so I plan on getting some CRS & CBS, here are my water params. I took a pic of the paper I wrote it on, don't mind the water spots as I dripped a little on the paper.
My GH is high? And my kh is low?
What do I need to do to get them right for the skrimps?
Like you said GH and PH are too high for keeping CRS. I have just started keeping CRS, and have found RO water to be the easiest way to meet their needs. Then all you have to do is add something like Mosura Mineral Plus to add in the minerals the shrimp need and you get perfect PH and GH.
Not saying the alder cones wouldn't work too, just offering another solution.
I purchased my Mosura Mineral Plus right here on TPT from member H4N. He also has some other shrimp/ plant related products and live plants. I beleive there are others on the for sale forum that sale it as well. Also, you can order it online from Alpha Pro Breeders, and even Amazon.com. There are of course other products to add the minerals needed to RO water. You could even check with the person you are getting the shrimp from and see which one they use.
Been on the forum since 2004, but I don't check here often as there is usually not much traffic! But I am glad to see that changing! We only have 1 LFS and Petsmart and Pet Co. There is a LFS in Temple too, but neither one of the LFS's sell many plants. So 90% of the plants I have are from the SnS here.
I have some Limno Aromatica (sp?) in my 55g, but I am still fighting Clado algae, so I do not feel confortable offering any!!! I will be glad to offer some once I finally kill off the clado though!
I too am fixing to start a shrimp tank. The LFS in Temple has a few different types of shrimp. However I saw some kind of white worm looking critters in the tak with them, so until I am able to get a clear pic of them and get a ID of the critters I WILL NOT buy any from them!
I LOVE Crypts of all kind and would LOVE some of the white or marbled kinds!
I also would love to try to get to the Hill country show! I will have to see how much the cost of travel will be, since I am Disabled my funds are VERY LIMITED!!!
GREAT to see the Texas forum getting some posters, and I will be sure to check back every time I log on!
