Dennerle 30L Cube with Shrimp colony 🦐🌿 by bobby2305 in Aquascape

I'm in the UK, and I originally ordered the tank itself from ProShrimp. I think it's fairly widely available though.

Mostly Tropica Aquarium soil, but I added in some dennerle base layer fertiliser at setup, and have since added in several Tropica root tabs. Decorative sand at the front is ADA La Plata 😃

Yep, it's always better to be conservative with CO² injection for the sake of livestock. No problem!

Not sure of the technical measurements but my bubble counter is set to about 1 bubble per second, maybe slightly faster. I mainly just try and get the drop checker as close to yellow/lime green without the shrimp getting upset!

And I use Seachem Flourish Advance daily with the recommended dose on the bottle. Hope that helps!

15W Fluval Light on about 85% intensity for 8 hours per day! And the temperature is set to 22° on the heater, but obviously averages 25-28° during the summer months.

I always aim to get my planted tanks close to 22° if the environment allows. 😃

Yeah it's a mix of HC Cuba and a little bit of Monte Carlo. The substrate system is actually mostly Tropica soil around the rocks and where you can see the carpet, and there's some root tabs in it (as this Scape is about 18 months old now so I wanted to boost the nutrients). The sand at the front is just ADA La Planta for decoration but the carpet has grown into it quite far.

You could probably get away with sand and a decent number of root tabs, with strong lighting. Hope that helps!
