ArtheLad Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Shrimp lover, I'm from Jakarta with a 5 weeks neo caridinas shrimp tank Previously I only buy them for my fish tank.. but eventually the shrimp just vanishing (ate by the fish) so I decide to move them into a new 45x30x30 tank with no preparation. Then it hit me.. I cant move my eyes on these little guys LOL Here's my first shrimp tank, with some neo caridinas shrimp (they say the easiest shrimp to mantain...). So many things I want to ask about keeping this cool guys, so please guide me guys CharlesWex, Alfrediacag, Timothylem and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtheLad Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks for welcoming guys, I think I need to rescape those layout.. Removing some plants so that I can see my shrimp. I have a bad nitrate level in my tank, thats why I put those plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metageologist Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Welcome. If you can get some duck weed it will absorb the nitrate. Once your levels are under control remove it. have a gneiss day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 You'll have a hard time ever getting rid of duckweed fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 That's frogbit, grows slower and absorbed less trates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtheLad Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 That's frogbit, grows slower and absorbed less trates.Ah so I was wrong, no wonder it still comes out with high nitrate. Many shrimperist in my city recommend using ADA bacter ball to reduce or maintain nitrate, do you guys think that too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah, but it still looks awesome. I don't know what that is, but someone else probably does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 To maintain low nitrate levels many of us including myself always include a bag of Purigen. Its inexspensive and can be recharged multiple times. ArtheLad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 You might try more and/or different floaters. Plus I don't know how quickly the ones you put in would affect your nitrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its inexspensive and can be recharged multiple times. Yeah, I've read some of shrimp tank with purigen recommendation, I have already have in my canister a EHEIM substrate pro.. does it work the same as purigen? or later can I put it together with Purigen? You might try more and/or different floaters. Plus I don't know how quickly the ones you put in would affect your nitrates. I seems my floater doens't absorb that much.. well its already day-4 when I first put it in there, not much at my city sell those kind of floaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
