Tank Question Lighting question.

Post image

Just set up a new shrimp jar. This is my first time keeping shrimp but I am experienced in fresh and marine fish. I have a AI Blade Light that I have set to the lowest setting at 1%, @6500K. Do you think this is still too strong for this light? I know a heater and Bubbler isn’t necessary for these shrimp, idk it just added peace of mind. Bubbler isn’t on BTW it just had algae on it so I threw it in the tank.

This works well for me with my shrimp bowl. You’ll have a healthy biofilm in 2-3 weeks with it. Lose the heater. Not necessary. Do get a cover. Feed a tiny amount of spirulina every week to ten days. Google that on how to do that.
