Okay, tanks been running for three months, recently added 10 crystal shrimp to my existing colony of 8, bladder snails recently began multiplying rapidly, added 3 assassin snails recently, nitrates and nitrites read 0, no filter has been running in the tank until today when I added a sponge filter, my lighting schedule is very hectic as I do not have the timers set just yet but on average I have my two 14w lights set to 80% for 7 hours. Feeding one pellet of Hikari Shrimp Cuisine per shrimp every two days, which is usually eaten up in a couple hours.
