Technical Specifications:

Capacity: 13 Litres.
Dimensions: 27 cm (H) x 22 cm (W) x 28 cm (D).
Material: 1/4-inch crystal-clear acrylic with pedestal legs.

Built-In Components:

Dimmable LED Lighting: Features 43 individual LEDs (36 white, 7 blue) controlled by an integrated microprocessor touch-base to adjust lighting spectrums.
Integrated Filtration Sump: Hidden behind a sleek rear vinyl divider, it uses an overflow system paired with sponge and biological media.
Adjustable Return Pump: A built-in powerhead with physical flow rate control adjustments lets you dial back the current for delicate inhabitants.

Best Livestock and Aquascaping:

Because of its small volume, this tank requires careful biological stocking. It is highly recommended by hobbyists for:

Neocaridina & Caridina Shrimp: Highly suitable for breeding colonies.
Single Betta Splendens: Ideal for a lone fighter fish when the adjustable pump flow is set to low.
Nano Aquascaping: Excellent dimensions for high-detail, low-tech planted layouts.

Acclimation of your shrimp:

We use the rule of three (3)

One part is their water that we send them in and 2 parts is your tank water.

Drip Acclimation Tools:

Small tupperware bowl or something similar
Plastic cup or aquarium airline hose
Scissors
Shrimp or fish net
Airline tubing

Removing Shrimp from the Bag:

If you received your shrimp in a breather bag you’ll want to place the bag directly inside the tupperware. Make sure to not pour the shrimp out because they may get stuck inside the bag.

With your scissors, cut the side of the bag, starting from the top. This will let the water pour out the bag and the bag will remain inside the bowl with the shrimp.
Carefully remove the shrimp that remained behind in the bag. You can also dip the bag in the water to achieve this.
Your shrimp should now be inside the tupperware.

Using airline tubing to acclimate:

Allow water to drip into the tupperware with shrimp at 2 – 3 drops per second. Apply the rule of 3 here, One part existing water from shrimp bag and 2 parts your existing tank water. Dripping should take 1 hour to complete. We believe that dripping shrimp for hours on end creates more stress and can harm your newly purchased critters.
Once the water in the tupperware is mainly tank water you can safely introduce your shrimp to your tank.
We have had a 100% success rate with the above method.
