Default My Office Setup

Cant resist after seeing bro dkk had his set up in office...since i got the approval from my boss and my desk still allows me a little space for a little destress tank....

I started my own set up

i got my B grades CRS from bro dennal and since i do not have a chiller at home....i decided to try my luck to have them in my office since the aircon is on throughout the week at 22 degrees....rush back office on a sat after meeting bro dennal

Tank water filtered for 1 week...but i did not install any filter for it...just hopefully some constant WC...more frequent using age water...a little restriction to have a filter in office..Not to push my luck further....

Sorry since i was too anxious abt snapping some pics...i onli had my hp cam....so took some shots...which is a little unclear....the water is a little muddy becos i stir it a little when moving it ard...

fauna
10 x crs grade B
2 x cherry (in it for a week...to test the tank)
3 x galaxy (in it for a week...to test the tank)
1 x snail







rushing home now...will upload more pics tonite!

dude, noticed you got microrasbora sp. galaxy!

i think you should remove it before they shred your shrimps!

btw, nice rock should plant more heavily though..

I don't have any first hand experiences with Galaxies but accounts from bros here (i think EvolutionZ was one of them) said that the Galaxies were hostile and killed a number of their shrimps..

i think the shrimps should be fine with less space leh, afterall they're quite small right? but its your tank, as long as you're happy, everything goes. to me, more plants will help to keep water parameters especially ammonia and nitrates in check since you have no filter..
