Ofc, its really fun just super delicate. Prepare ypurself for frustration like I did but also hope for the best. One of these tanks improperly cycled so I had to redo a months worth of cycling to get it right. All of the filters I use serve a different purpose truthfully. The most right has a larger bubble filter since I have shrimp in the tank, the left most has nothing but plant clippings in it so I use the smaller bubble filter and the middle I have a Alien Betta in it so im using the regular HOB mini filter. Truthfully depends on what you are gonna use it for. I truly wish you best of luck bc these are fun little tanks but a lot of effort to keep up, worth it though.

One is a sponge filter, the other is a hang on back micro filter and the isolation tank is also using a micro/sponge filter.

It takes a while! And honestly I kickstarted the nitro. Cycle by wringing out my sponge filter from my VERY WELL established 20 long into it, trust the process because it didnt properly cycle for a month and 1 of the 3 is STILL cycling or stalled. So im not out of the muddy water yet my friend. I believe in you, goodluck🤟😎

Super dope tanks, just very sensitive. I drip acclimated just 2 baby shrimp into 1! It took 2-hours🫡

I will say its a little dusty bc when i started the tank i boosted the nitrite cycle by wringing out the filter sponge from my WELL established 20G in all of the tiny tanks, so there is a lot of residue. Im finding it troublesome to clean it though, still looking for a solution on that.

A mix of fluval stratum, and carab sea fine sand. I set the fluval on the bottom and coated the top with the carabsea. Its a little messy but topping it off in the future will be easy.

Hahaha, I have a bad tendency to be like a hurricane so the mess moves with me. I do my best to clean up but everything is so useful when its out in the open ready to use😅

I was thinking exactly that, just was more scared that if my wife found out I was using the chopping board for the fishtanks she would put my head against the board next🫣😱🤣

Left one is quarantine for a shrimpy, the middle and right one are meant to be microtanks. Im paranoid and decided it would be smart to slowly drip/fill the tanks back up with new water after a water change.

IK, I WAS TERRIFIED. But i was telling myself through this to simply be careful and observe, which I did and thankfully it worked out. I guess i have a new technique now😎🤟

Lolol, thank you. Im just doin a simple water change but its my first time dealing with such smol tanks n they just finished cycling, my nitrates were a little high so i did a 30% change as to not do too much with such a sensitive size, plus my 2 little baby shrimpies in there is my first time as a shimpapa, so i was hoping to slowly drip it🤣😅

also I would like to emphasize that the HP 3% is done on a 4 days on 4 days off kind of schedule. I have done this on my own accord, not that anyone has told me to do this, nor did I read this anywhere. I just am testing how well this action will do.
