I have a 1 gal pico right now with LR, 1 sexy shrimp and 1 snail in it. I've had it up and running for a little over 1 month and got the green alge stuff growing on the rocks just fine now. I do weekly water changes to maintain my levels and all but I'm moving it into a bigger container - a 2.5 gal tank. I'm going to split it and have a refuge in 1/2 of it so the display area will be 1.5 gals.
I also wanted to add some LS to the crushed coral I already have since the base will be bigger now I'll need more substrate. This would cause a mini cycle again right? Also, are there any easy ways to move the tiny sexy shrimp without harming him? He's quite little and don't want to squish him during the move as he hides very well among the rocks.
