Got new shrimp for my Purevue 5.5 gallon cube! This is the process I go through whenever I get new fish or shrimp to drip acclimate them. Some people say drip acclimating is bad, but I’ve always had success doing it.
Most of my aquariums are low tech and filterless. I’m using a filter for this tank to make my life a lot easier 🤣
I purchased this filter with my own money, but the Purevue 5.5 gallon cube aquarium kit was provided for free by ZooMed.
Filling my new nano cube aquarium! I used tap water and poured it through a plastic mesh screen to slow down and spread out the water so it wouldn’t ruin the plants and substrate. This Purevue 5.5 gallon cube kit and Aquapure water conditioner were provided for free by ZooMed
Adding plants to my nano cube aquarium. I’m using dwarf sag in the foreground, and a ton of different crypts on the sides. The centerpiece is java fern on a large piece of driftwood. That’s sitting on lava rocks with anubias nana petite.
Starting a new tank! This is a Purevue 5.5 gallon cube. In part 2 I’ll add the rest of the plants. The Purevue 5.5 gallon aquarium kit was provided by @zoomedlabs for free
Patience is really important to have when keeping aquariums. Sometimes it can take months to get your desired outcome. It’s going to take a lot longer for this tank to look how I want it!
Trimming my 2 gallon planted aquarium bowl. The bottom of the stems had little to no leaves, so I decided to replant a lot of the stems. It should look a lot more fuller once everything starts growing back!
This tank is 2 months old. Here’s the setup and all of the maintenance I’ve done on it so far. Still need to do another trim and replant, then add a snail and some shrimp! What color shrimp would look good in here?
Flooding my new vase aquarium. I know it looks bad right now, but just trust the process. It’ll fill in and situate itself once the plants get established. 😂
