New C.R.S. Tank




In an attempt at revival, I brought back the small 5 Gl. java moss tank from a dark state. I unplugged the tank to kill off a hair algae problem. There was nothing in the tank then, and since java moss will survive almost anything you throw at it, and flourish under colder darker conditions, I tried to kill the algae by making the conditions less than favorable for it. But yesterday, I threw a couple Eheim Liberties to polish off the water after syphoning all the detritus out and a after adding a new layer of gravel. And now its the home for my new Crystal Red Shrimp—Caridina cf. cantonensis. I picked them up on Saturday, it was my nerd-out day, at Big Al's in Scarborough. They where selling them for $5.99 or 3 for $15.
