Whats going on PT!
I've been on and off the hobby (esp with freshwater) for quite some time and sad to say haven't been around on this forum much as of recent, but it definitely feels great to be back! but damn has times changed since I had a shrimp tank back in 2007+! Definitely for the better.
Well I got the bug again after coming across a magazine "Breeders'n'keepers" (pick that up if you haven't!) and am getting ready to set up a pico 4.7g tank. I plan on trying my hands on some red tiger shrimps this time around. I left off the shrimp game with Orange eyed blue tigers back a few years ago and was able to successfully have a colony of 80 or so from purchasing about 12 from a former member on here.
I have everything I pretty much need right now minus the tank itself, which should be on its way here by the weekend or early next week and plan on keeping a journal for it this time around.
My setup:
•4.7g rimless tank
•Custom HMF filter by printedreefingsolutions (Matthew is an awesome guy!)
•ADA Amazonia substrate
•Hydor mini heater
•Yama Stones
•Ryuoh Stones
I plan on keeping this low tech this time around and focus more on the shrimps than a planted tank. However I will just stock it with some moss and marimo balls.
Once I get this tank in, I will definitely update this thread. Feels great to be back to such a fantastic forum, and I'm glad I remembered my log in lol.:grin2:
