May I see photos of your filter setup? I’m a DIY folk, before this filter type, I used to build a fountain with a cheap mini pump from Amazon and use lava rock and ceramic rings and mangrove roots plans in a chamber as my filter. It was my first time for a shrimp tank also just about 2GL and I had like a colony of bloody and cherry shrimps with so many shrimplets so I guess it was a success. But due to some unexpected events when it was at its best yet I was away for quite some time and no one took care of it so all the adults gone and surprisingly few shrimplets make it when the tank almost dried out!!! It’s broke my heart to see that. So after some time I restart it and use HOB filters (they are about $10) and surprisingly I have encountered more issues this time! ? I just used those recommended aqua soil for substrate, some seiyu rocks and Okha dragons for the fountain setup and simple low maintenance plants for my aquascape. It’s pretty much the same for this time. Maybe I’m the one who is always lucky at my first shot but not so much at my second trial ? it happened the same for my cooking as well lmao
