Common questions from first-time buyers

What's included?
20L rimless tank, fitted lid, foam underlay mat, black background film, shrimp-safe sponge filter, black USB air pump, silicone airline tubing, check valve, inline flow control valve, slim LED light, stick-on thermometer, straight tweezers, short clear dosing pipette, microfiber cloth, cable clips, water conditioner, ammonia test, test strips, Quick Start Guide, Shrimp-Ready Checklist, and QR setup card.
Do I need substrate and plants separately?
Yes. The kit covers hardware and water preparation. Substrate, plants, and shrimp are not included and should be sourced separately based on your setup preferences.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes β€” designed specifically for first-time nano shrimp keepers. Every component is chosen to work together, filtration is shrimp-safe, and the Quick Start Guide and Shrimp-Ready Checklist help you move through each stage with more clarity.
Is the filtration shrimp-safe?
Yes β€” the kit uses a sponge-filter style system designed to avoid the impeller risks common in generic starter filters. Shrimp cannot be trapped or injured.
Does this include everything I need?
It includes the core hardware foundation β€” tank, filtration, air system, testing basics, and guidance. You add plants, substrate, and shrimp locally. For a fuller system, see the Starter System Bundle.
Why is this different from a standard starter tank?
This is a curated system designed around shrimp-safe logic, visual organisation, and a more premium beginner experience. Standard starter tanks are built for fish β€” this is built for shrimp.
Do I still need substrate or dΓ©cor?
Yes β€” those are personal layout choices added separately based on your plant and shrimp species choices.
