Cheers, Bill

Coming Soon Updates

This week)

Left foreground: Remove java moss & replace with marseila minuta
Right foreground: Remove java moss & replace with Anubias nana 'petite'
Center background: Add Limno Amro.

Shrimp are doing just fine. My ph is around 7.2. I'm thinking of adding peat to the filter (in a mesh bag)

Sounds good. Maybe use some RO water with your tap water at WC time?

I hope your journal is better than mine, because I have this tendency to just let them die slowly and painfully.

Very nice start

Sweet! My RCS tank is a 29

Luichenwai · 05-07-2008, 01:15 PM

Change in plans... This 29 gal is going to be simple and basic for the CRS.

I plan on only keeping Marsiela Minuta, Anubias nana petite, flame moss

All are low tech low light plants. I'll update with pics with new scape. The Manzanita package should be coming today or tomorrow.

in a 29 gal tank can 10 CRS find each other to breed? lol.. I feel like people with a 10 gal tank and with 10 CRS have a better chance? I dont know, I may be completely off.
