How about mini l183? Its small size will be less threat to a shrimp.
I feel it may be the same as it comes to contact with water for same period of time. Like it takes 1min to cook an egg, how much time it takes to cook 2eggs. Hope u get the accurate answer soon! |

You got aro tank even better...take some of the media and put it into your shrimp tank...within two week can put shrimp already...no need to put market prawn in side..but the best four week self cycle... I try few hour before but l took all the media in my canister filter to put into my new sump tank... SAE can put but it will bully the shrimp later..take out affected plant/thing and manually remove BBA Last edited by jwkb; 02-08-2011 at 09:50 PM. |

Sinking pellets can be used for cycling of shrimp tank. I heard red shrimps aka pinocchio shrimps will help remove beard algae. It is best not to put any fish in shrimp tank but if you want to, otto would be the best choice. just my 2 cents worth, hope it hepls |

Use BT9 and such is good enough. Soil itself has ammonia, so has a lot, some less, so no need to add more ammonia source. Yamato. |
