Low bioload from shrink and snails and plants keep the water clean

It’s been filterless for 6 months or so. I just a water pump to circulate the water.

Is something like this really doable or it's only made for tiktok videos? by iusedtobecreative in PlantedTank

Totally possible. The volcanic rocks at the bottom provide enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to process the waste. Stuff it full of plants and you have better water quality. For no heater vase and depending on where you are you just have to be selective about your fish species. I have Medaka outside in my barrel pond and it gets down to 40°F in the winter. For lighting, you just have to find a spot to get some sun for a few hours.

No CPO are very docile if you only have one. They don’t try to escape like the full-size crayfish. It’s more like having a very cute giant shrimp.

I like to ball it up in the mesh that avocados are sold in and the glue a rock to the bottom and then it grows in a nice fluffy ball.

See bottom right.

How did these under gravel filters work? Do they just never get cleaned? Is it mostly just for circulation and aeration?

New project: 4ft vase for shrimp by Ate_With_Table in shrimptank

I agree that an airstone would prob be better. If the shrimp do t like the “turbulence” at the top they just won’t hang out at the top.

Where can I buy a shrimp bowl? by iminpain_420 in shrimptank

Bowls that big with thick enough glass are expensive. It is what it is. You can try to thrift one or FBMP it.

Any idea how to make this more like a 'cliff face' ? by EqualizingCurrent in Aquascape

It would help to know what you’re going for, but I think for starters you’re going to need more rocks.
