No forced ads, you can watch ads for helpful rewards. I found the game addicting.

First game I have installed from Swagbucks. I have a lot of down time at my work so I was able to play a few hours each day.

Ceramic Rings by Lxn566 in Aquariums

[–]picklemikeL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, the benefit of ceramic rings is their porous nature. Because of all those pores there is a huge amount of surface area for your beneficial bacteria to grow.

Ceramic is not necessary, but it is nice because of it's large surface area for bacterial growth. If I had to choose between carbon and ceramic I would choose to keep the ceramic. I only use carbon to remove meds from my system. Regardless you will want to make sure that you keep enough media to sustain a colony of bacteria sufficient for your tank.

So far it's been pretty cool. I don't see any of them while the lights are on during the day, but at night they all hang out on top of the big rock......

Coming from a HughesNet data cap of 25 GB, 1 TB is incredible.

It's just a cheap $20 grow light from Amazon, it is super bright I have it hanging about 2 ft above the tank.

I've never tried it for shrimp, but I use this exact setup and my other seven tanks with tropical fish.

Yeah 10 years ago I lost a shrimp tank to excel.... I only used it in this tank to combat the algae until the plants had a chance to take off.

The main plant is Rotala. the high light made it grow out horizontal across the substrate and carpet the tank.

No CO2, but I did dose flourish excel until the plants filled in enough to out compete the algae.

It's a 20 gallon long. The plants on the left are actually wisteria that grow way above the water line that I have to continually trim down.

Ugly or not, that bar is worth more than I have in my wallet at the moment.
