Loving that my Ram is living in harmony with my shrimp now! They've become a lot more comfortable in the tank and are regularly out in the open space!

Anyone know if this shrimp is berried?

RCS loving their broccoli!

Yes, it looks berried to me.

 

[Slaphppy7]

Definitely berried...nice tank!

 

[Mick85]

Awesome! Hope the little shrimp can survive all the hungry mouths in there!

Couldn't help myself today....fish shop had panda corys on sale for $5 each so i grabbed 8!

How are the pandas doing? I hope they spawn for you since you got so many of them.

I put them in about 2hrs ago and they look to have settled in nicely! I think I'll have to set up another bigger tank, this one is starting to get over crowded haha

Just seen my first baby shrimp!!

So i just noticed my a arch nemisis is starting to reappear on my rocks....the damn BBA!!


The only thing that has changed in the tank is i changed my cheapo LED light to a fluval aquasky 2.0. This is the custom setting I'm using. Is there anything obvious in the light setting that could be causing the BBA to come back?

I have had good results with maxing the white at 90% and the red at 68% - Your white sand may be reflecting more than you'd want.

I'll try that out. Hope it works, i really can't deal with BBA right now lol

I would turn the lights down more than that. I have different systems but in my 22G (long) I max at 45%. In my 20Ghigh I max at 65%.
Until things stabilise it may be best to stick to white light before making gradual changes. That is probably what the cheapo LED was producing.

Funny enough the cheap LED did have red blue and green lights, the tank was actually doing really well with it. I just wanted the fluval because you can customise it to gradually go from light to dark and vice versa. So you saying turn off red blue and green and only leave white?

I changed my settings to this.

My red cherries are looking very red. What grade would these be?
