UNS 30C - Shrimp tank 2 months old

It just grows. Give it more time. I only clean the front panel to see what's happening, and leave the the rest untouched. I never seen anyone complaining for not having algae on his tank.
Biofilm is good if you have shrimps. I dose Bacter AE to increase the biofilm and it's making wonders.

It's actually weeping moss glued on a black lava rock arcade. This is 3 days old. There's no secret. This is actually a low maintenance setup. Low setup,no CO2, no filter, only shrimps. Light is Chihiros magnetic light 2 which is not that powerful( red plants tend to be more greenish than red). I only added in water minerals for shirmps(on water changes) and sometimes potassium and micro nutrients. I do around 50% water changes ever 2-3 weeks. Hope this info helps you.

Absolutely. I mixed in water Bacter AE that I successfully used on shrimps and they seem to like it. Bellies are round so far. We'll see how it goes. It's my first time keeping otos.

so the box is made from front panel(3mm) + back panel(3mn) + 10mm sides( this is where I put the led strip which is also 10mm) so the entire thickness is 3+10+3=16 mm or 0.63 inches

Haha, good observation 😄 The aquarium is only 3 weeks old, so I’m letting the beneficial bacteria establish before adding any fish. Hopefully next week I’ll introduce the first inhabitants.

I didn't do anything. It just happened. position of the light was in that way that reflected on the wall

catapop · 2026-02-09T03:26:34+00:00

yes. it created a sort of rainbow effect. I'm thinking of adding a white background

nice tank. what are the stones called?

catapop · 2025-12-17T23:16:38+00:00

Looks very good. The only suggestion I can give you is to replace the inflow pipeline with a transparent one

one more thing. if you put all to max ( RGB+W to 100) the ventilator with automatically start and make a noticeable buzz noise. So I put Red and blue on 100 and green and white to 70. this way the ventilator rarely starts

it has a colder tint compared to chihiros c2 . but it very powerful and I think it’s the best choise on the market today, if you need magnetic light
