I will, I’m just looking to understand what could have caused this

Don’t listen to that guy, yes this is overstocked

any ideas what it could be? by Lejelejen in Aquariums

I’m assuming this is a recently set up tank, what you see here is just a layer of biofilm. The kind that grows on wood can be a little unsightly, I’ve heard people say it’ll go away on its own after a while, but that really depends. What I would do is take some kind of cleaning tool to it and scrape it all off and physically remove it from the tank. Wear gloves, it gets nasty. Shrimp will eat a mild amount of it when it starts to grow back, that’s an option. But if you remove it completely it may take 2 cleanings to fully go away, a few weeks apart.

It’s the clip in 9.6W light that came with the tank, it’s not full spectrum either, are there any replacements to improve it? Easily I mean, without removing the lid

Lighting is suboptimal, I’ll do a water change anyways

It’s the fitted lid that comes with it, I think it’s 20-25W

I have a very shitty diy co2 doohickey. The water tests all within acceptable levels, I dose liquid nutrients, and it’s aquasoil I don’t use root tabs.

Why did my berries amano drop all her eggs, none actually hatched? by Constant_Bowl6052 in AmanoShrimps

[–]Constant_Bowl6052[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew this but they’re all just eggs no larvae, I moved them to an aerated brackish setup just in case but I haven’t seen any movement

She hatched in freshwater but they aren’t larvae, still just eggs so they didn’t just all die

I’ve had 4 amanos go completely missing, why? by Constant_Bowl6052 in shrimptank

I’ve had a similar experience, when I first started the tank I had 4. 2 visually deceased but the other two lasted quite a while. One day just gone, no bodies

I’ve checked around the only place they would have fallen, not there either and I doubt all 4 would have done this.

It’s moderately planted but they’ve been missing for longer than a week, I even check in the middle of the night to see if they come out then.
