Woah, I bet that tank holds a couple thousand of them with ease!

**Rob in Puyallup** · 12-19-2012, 01:27 AM

Lol! Maybe!

(As usual, I'm over filtering it with a sponge filter and a Fluval internal filter with Purigen.)

Just finished doing API drop tests on both Opae Ula tanks...

The 6.6 gallon bookshelf with 300 or so shrimp with every other day feedings:

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: 0

pH: 8.4

__________________________

The new 10 gallon with MTS and two Pipipi snails:

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: 10 or 20 (colors too similar for my eyes.)

pH: 8.2

Seems all is going well!

Just completed a 10% (one gallon) water change in the 10 gallon tank.

Any new photo updates?

**Rob in Puyallup** · 12-27-2012, 01:11 AM

Sure! Give a minute, not much different except for a bit of green and a new lamp!

The 10 gallon with the new plants and lamp a few minutes ago...

**Rob in Puyallup** · 12-27-2012, 01:30 AM

Closer up. Please excuse the diatoms and algae. The snails are doing their best!

**Rob in Puyallup** · 12-27-2012, 01:32 AM

The original Opae Ula tank a few minutes ago. Chaeto going absolutely crazy!

**dougolasjr** · 12-27-2012, 02:30 PM

What are the plants in each tank?

**Rob in Puyallup** · 12-27-2012, 02:42 PM

Hi Doug,

They're macro-algae.

The fluff and pot scrubber looking things are chaetomorpha and flat leafed one, caulerpa. There are other caulerpa in the 10 gallon tank, too, just not obvious in the pics.

**Rob in Puyallup** · 01-02-2013, 12:51 AM

Dinner tonight... A fair bit of hair algae in the chaeto...

Those look like peppermint shrimp. My work sells them for 9.99 a pop. o.o
