selling to make room for another reef tank :)

Established Opae Ula (Hawaii super shrimp) ecosystems with over 150+ shrimps.
these are not your typical shrimp sold at LFS. These super shrimps live over 25 years and require no feeding, no filter, no heater when keep at room temperature, and no water change ever. only maintenance is topping off with filter water once every 4 to 6 months. light is on a timer which grow algae that the shrimp feeds on.

The Perfect pet for the office or busy individual who travel a lot or don't have time to care for a more demanding pets. These super shrimp are native to Hawaii and live over 25 years. They are breeding and multiplying in this established ecosystem. $450 obo
Tank is a Biorb cube 8 gallon with LED.

picture of the over grown tank has been sitting untouched for months. I can clean and remove some of the special blackish chaeto before pick up.
location: fountain valley and can meet near by
Thanks

Is that hair algae?
Is it beneficial for opae ula?
How do you make that rock float?
Is it attached to the background?

no, it's not hair algae. it's a special chaeto macroalgae that grow in blackish water (half saltwater)
the lava rock is attached to the back to make it look like it float.

Never tried so I’m not sure but I don’t think they will breed at that level

price drop $200 obo and current pic WYSIWYG.
re-home some shrimps but there's still 50+ still in this self-sustaining ecosystem. needs a little cleaning. I can clean if you want before pickup.
