Setup For Cleaner Shrimp

[oogalepbo]

Hi All

I would like to setup a 45L tank for 2x Cleaner Shrimp.

The setup will have:

LIGHTS - Q: Do the Shrimp like light and is it necessary or just for lightening up the tank?

FILTER - Q:What sort of filter will i need for a 45L tank

HEATER - Q: What temperature will i need for a 45L tank

LIVE CORAL - Q: Do cleaner shrimp prefer specific Coral?

Not sure of common name of cleaner shrimp. Store only said Cleaner Shrimp Lysmata Amboinensis.

Is there anyone that has successfully setup their own cleaner shrimp tanks? If so can you please let me know the step by step setup and rough cost. Cheers

Thanks to all who reply

Hi
You might be able to get away with 2 cleaners in a 45litre but not much else.
Live rock would be your best filter. In a tank that size youd be looking at around 3-4 kg.
Temperature, you want to be in the range of 76-82 farenhite.

As for live coral, just a bit of basics. Youre going to need a good light unit to keep corals,good water conditions, wich means youll be wanting to use ro water, and a good filtration system. Someone will go into more detail about corals but that is just a basic outline.
