I also have 1 crab, 1 algae eating cowrie, 1 nassarius snail
The shrimp is a small one, have had him for 2 weeks now and what personality. Love to eat from the stick when I feed.

One word "Simple"
I have a nano HOB filter, 15 watt heater, 9" 18 watt 50/50 pc light by coralife.
No skimmer on this tank, to small for that.
I do weekly water changes, daily top ups and rest takes care of itself.e
Its small, alot of fun and colorful. The shrimp adds so much character, love these guys.

Thanks for the compliments
The fixture is Coralife 9" 18 watt 50/50 PC
Great little light, I would not use it for anything bigger than this size of tank but that is just me.

hey please read my new thread anout "picotope" p.s. your tank looks amazing!!!
Hello, thanks for the compliments. I sure love this little tank. Just going to do a water change on it shortly.
I also sent you a private message to email me as well regarding another thread you have going.....
You certainly could have a 3 gal with water and sand coming from your 29 gal. Make sure you have a hob filter on it and a small heater too. My heater is a marineland 15 watt. They are preset to be 78 degrees all the time no adjusting on them.
Keep it simple and you will have a very nice pico.
One other thing I highly recommend is get a glass tank if you can. Plexi like the Tom scratch so easily and are a pain to try and clean. With the glass I just us my blade and its perfect.
Good luck....
