Starry Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Putting this here as I don't know how to start a journal thread and would also like some input. Tank is a jbj 24 with a aquaclear 70 just running foam (until I get an eheim classic canister). lighting is stock reef light with expired 105w quad pc. light is old so has shifted out of the blue spectrum slightly and is more yellowish. I have a 18" Sunblaster with reflector on order .So picked up 2 bags of flourite, covered that with pool filter sand. Got a few nice pieces of wood, one is the Malaysian wood, no sure about the bigger piece. The Malaysian has some anubias on it while I covered the larger branchy piece with java fern. There is also 2 different types of crypt, some H. polysperma, 1 stem H. Difformis, a little bit of jungle val, 2 little pieces of corkscrew val (all lfs had left) 4-5 micro sword in front till I find something better.also 1 Rose Sword. 1 plant I don't know what it is, nor did the guy at the shop. will post pic of it in future. someone gave me some ricca that I have floating in a guppy breeder cage till I decide what to do with it. Dosing flourish excel and flourish untill I make a diy co2 system using the sodas and citric acid method Only fish atm is a blue and red dumbo betta. Once tank is stable I will be adding: 6 panda cories, 8 cardinal tetras, 3 Ottos 10 cherry shrimp 1 Sidthimunki Botia Loach Anyhow here is what I have so far: Edited March 5, 2017 by Starry add pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigweldpro Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Pretty sure dosing excel will kill the shrimp as it contains copper. also pretty sure the betta, loach and cories will also eat the shrimp. I wouldn't add ottos to any tank that you can still see through the sides and back, they need a ton of nasty algae to munch on. looks like your pic is a dud try and edit the pic.

Starry Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 trying to delete that post but wont let me. ok nix the loach then. pretty sure cories wont eat adult shrimp. Ottos will also eat zucchini, cucumber nori or algae wafers. Foe snacks they can eat what ever algea the can find in the tank. Further fish additions are a few weeks off anyhow.
