Water Leak

Key moment
I thought I had a leaky tank two nights ago. I broke down the tank. Put my last shrimp and only snail in another container. I filled the tank with water and waited over night. To find out there wasn’t a leak. Once I put the tank back together my shri…

Aw man! That’s hard, I’m sorry! Sometimes it’s better just to restart like you’re doing, but I’m not sure I’m brave enough! 😆 Good luck!

Problem

More dead

Last of the blue shrimp died. I noticed some white at the tip (nose) of my red shrimp. It’s not glare either.


I’m noticing tiny slug like things on the walls of the aquarium. What are they?

It could be planaria?

Solution

Adding Crush Coral

I bought a bag of crushed coral. I put a small piece of coral in the filter. I’m hoping this helps buffer out the ph and kh. Update in 24 hrs.


Sadly down to 3 shrimp. I’m hoping balancing out ph and kh will resolve the issue.

Problem

Morning Disaster

I woke up with two more dead shrimp. My yellow and one of my blue shrimp. Getting frustrated.

Problem

2nd shrimp in distress

Oh no! My other yellow shrimp is lethargic. I noticed it’s moving very slowly all day. Now it is laying on its side. Legs are still moving now and again. But it’s the same thing that happened with the other shrimp. Can’t figure out what’s going on. B…

Cycling

Key moment

Finally levels are reading on a more favorable level.


Trying to figure out what to use for more carpeting plant. I like the Java moss but I want something more grass like or carpeting style. The moss is too loose and floats around too easily.

Update

Death in the Family.

Sadly, one of my yellow shrimp has passed. No signs of illness, but Finn stated it’s possible from stress due to tank not fully cycled. All other livestock looks healthy and great. Going to test water again Thursday. Possibly do another water change…
Problem

Death in the Family?

Oh no. One of my yellow guys is laying sideways. Doesn’t move unless I touch it :( I tested the water params earlier and it wasn’t anything crazy. Did a water change a day ago. Things look really healthy… Hopefully the shrimpster is just playing joke…
Milestone

Low tank health score

Key moment
Interesting to see my score not moving much from 54 to 56 once I input water test levels. The tank has been set since July. Finn determined my cycling is only mid complete. Everything looks healthy and happy. All living organisms surviving and thrivi…
Observation

First post, first tank

My brother in law, actually he’s the creator of this app, randomly was visiting us in Philly and bought us this nano tank. At the time he had 7 tanks? He thought to pass down his passion for aquascaping to us. Random: I actually have knowledge of tan…
