Ok so i'm thinking of doing a rimless planted shrimp tank, consisting of cherry shrimps. Startout with about 10 of these guys, currently got about 5 in my 55 gallon tank and i like them. Anyways....
Going to do a rimless Tank.. it's about 25 gallons, kinda.. rectangular similar to this:
And going to go with a foam filter:
Going to go with a hagen glo cause i dont need anything too fancy here:
Probably going to aim for around... Under 2wpg so it is a low light system.
I'm worried about circulation cause i know those foam filters dont really do any circulation how can i combat this?
Also probably going to go with eco-complete or something similar for substrate, possibly flora-base which i use in my 55 gallon.
Depending if my lighting is less then 2wpg.... i might do some EI, minor... to keep plants looking good.. mostly wanna do low light.. low maintanance tank for the shrimp.. algae isnt really a bad thing cause it's a shrimp tank.
Cherry shrimp will be the only living things in there.
Doing ALOT of driftwood covered in java moss.. cant figure out what i wanna do for a foreground.. or carpet. Possiably.. nothing cause of low light.
Wanna do a bunch of vails.. swords... but nothing too cluttered in the middle...
Input on this shrimp farm of mine would be ideal.
