So after seeing Marko's 20 litre tank in the setup thread i decided i needed another project, I've decided to setup a 20 litre Dennerle shrimp tank and im going to setup this one as minimal as i can, no water additives, no filters, Just a tank with substrate, Light and heater with some rocks.
The items should come in this week and in the days prior i will have to go and buy more RO water
ive gone with:
Dennerle 20 litre nano tank
Dennerle LED lights (which i already have sitting collecting dust)
Caribsea Kahuna Black Lava Rock
CaribSea crushed coral substrate - white (already own a bag)
AquaEl Comfort Zone Gold Heater 25W (cheapest 25Watt heater i could find while buying lavarock)
Instant ocean marine salt (already own)
RO water
Im going to remove a handful of crushed coral out of my mature cubes which i initially put in the smaller tanks to help buffer the water quicker but now is no longer needed (ocean rock is doing its job) and put it in the substrate of the new tank to add algae and bacteria to speed up the cycling process. I've decided to go with a white substrate with black rock-scape which is the total opposite of my black sand and white rock-scape set-ups previously. I'm interested to know if it will promote breeding or any other changes in behaviour. Plus its an excuse to setup another tank
Incoming build thread.
