simple and nice looking :D the DW is nicely shaped and nicely tied up with moss :)

Nice setup... i like the moss on DW. Wats the moss are you using mini moss? On the other hand it looks like java.

[damnit]

those are taiwan moss :)

[Pconnieae]

It is a really nice set up.

Do update when you have shrimplets :) .

[simcb]

those are taiwan moss :)

Nice healthy taiwan... dont know why all my taiwan died, i guess my tank parameter is not good enough for taiwan.... however christmas, HC and ricca is doing extremely well.

[Walter]

hmm.. sorry i am very new to plants..

i thought most moss have the same requirements?

[damnit]

IMO, all moss like cool temperature and dun like to be disturbed ... anchor them and leave them for months and they will reward you

Hi,
your tank will be HUGE :eek: . But why do you want to set up such a narrow tank? It should be 267litres, this is a lot of space for shrimps but I guess the tank's shape will make it hard to set up a nice aquascape and filtration will also be a problem. I would sugest at least two filters to prevent dead spots in the tank, where no water circulation is.

Take pictures when you are going to set up the tank, please. I'm curious how it will look like.

regards

Robert

Robert: you mentioned dead spots? is this a serious problems for all tanks or just shrimp tanks?

I thought that shrimps prefer low currents?

Please advise! thanks! I think I am going to start one shrimp tank soon!

[kross]

nice setup! alot of space for shrimp viewing! :D

btw, is that ada amazonia?

[Robert]

Hi,
I don't want to off topic too much, so I'll make it short. Dead spots are mainly a temperature problem in my experience. The temperate difference can be up to 3-4 °C. Some plants also grow better in a slight current e.g. mosses (in my experience especially weeping moss loves current) and Cryptocoryne spp. . In a well structured tank with plants, driftwood pieces and/or stones shrimps find a enough places to hide if they want to.

Where did you get that piece of wood? Its awesome!

Im rescaping my 29 gal tank. I want to make it simple like yours. but instead use flame moss.

Also what kind of substrate are you using?

Thanks!
