Thunder Goose Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I have a pico tank with Opae ulna "supershrimp." It started life as a TLC chamber (sorry no picts, it's still new and covered in algae right now). I keep it mostly covered and I don't have an issue with evaporation. I keep it brackish for these guys and, once I'm happy with it, it will go on my desk at work. If you're going full salt you can try Opae ulna - I'm not sure how they do in that - or I'll second the Pederson's. I have a couple in my nano and they're fun to watch and they take food from my fingers at dinner time. Following and looking forward to seeing what you do with it. 4 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 So dam cute. I would try a temporary back ground like construction paper to see how it looks. A bright yellow sun coral would make a wonderful center piece. Definitely following. 2 Quote Link to comment

I believe they can he acclimated to full salt and live 20 years! May have to pick coral that can't eat them though...aka no big lps mouths. I believe full salt is known to shorten their lifespans but they certainly are an ideal size for this tank. I love my little group of Opae ula. I would also suggest a Pederson's shrimp and maybe pom pom crab. The Pederson's will be out in the open and fun to watch. Most pom pom crabs hide a lot but not all of them. Some are like my Shelby and will eat other things... 2 1 Quote Link to comment

HookedOnAquariums Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Idea: Mini maxi or RFA as centerpiece with pedersons shrimp hosting. 1 Quote Link to comment

Justind823 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 You need some mini mini carpet anemones not the maxi variety. A couple of those would be cool but I haven't seen them in awhile. http://www.melevsreef.com/critter/mini-carpet-anemone 4 Quote Link to comment

Reefkid88 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I think a DC650 from Jebao would bit in there. Might blow water out of the wat though lol. Other there is mini usb pumps on amazon that pushes out like 60-70gph for I think $11. Quote Link to comment

MrObscura Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Do you even need a heater between the pump and light? If anything I'd worth about it getting to warm. Quote Link to comment

The one I bought will work, but the longer one would work better over the round one. 4 minutes ago, MrObscura said: Do you even need a heater between the pump and light?
