    Please note that in my opinion only shrimps and snails are suitable for such small setups.
    I have added the pair of guppies temporarily for the video shoot and cycling of the tank. They will be housed back to my main propagation tank after a couple of weeks. This will be a shrimp and snail tank only in the longer run.
    Also this is a Walstad style setup and hence no filter or CO2 has been used. It is meant to develop into a thriving ecosystem. The plants will act as a natural filter so more plants, the better it is.
    However it will need regular water changes and maintenance to keep the plants and livestock in good health. Fertiliser dosing will also be needed for plant growth.

    Beautiful build. And I learned something I'll use forever. The layer of bubble wrap to break up the stream of water when filling the tank.

    Awesome setup, sir.
    I have a question if anyone could spare some time.
    I have a tank with 6*9*6 inches dimensions and I have difficulties choosing which filter system to use.
    Is mechanical filter just a good choice overall or could I use other filter types that don't require electricity? Since the tank is very small, I am doubting a mechanical filter is required.

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist
      @TheUrbanNemophilist  Год назад

      For Walstad method no filter required. You can use sponge filter or a small hang on back filter.

  • @isblaka
    @isblaka 10 месяцев назад +1

    i am worried that where i live, if i open the window in cold days the room temperature will drop at least 7C° in minutes, would that affect the shrimps in this jar? also if the water is less than 25°C in general, as the room is about 21°C max in general, can that not be a good idea to have an unheated jar in that room ?

    • @TheUrbanNemophilist
      @TheUrbanNemophilist  10 месяцев назад

      Shrimp will need a heater if the room where the tank is kept goes below the recommended temperature of 18 C for extended periods of time. They also need a heater if rapid temperature changes are possible (e.g. by a window that gets opened frequently)
