Kritter Keepers?

[coolcucumber]

How do you set up a kritter keeper? It'd be nice to see, ive seen them for very cheap at my lfs, and i was curious. how would you get a light on it?

If you have one set up, it'd be lovely to see a pic :D

The only kind of light you can really use is one designed for it. They have them on Amazon.com. They don't come with one.

Ahk. But, can you put filters on them? and make em look alright?

They're really not designed for filters, but you can put them in. Just cut out the part of the lid you need. You would just need to find a filter for a tank that small. Otherwise, the current will be way too strong. Seems like too much trouble, though, might as well get a regular aquarium. I have my 3 gal keepers set up with no filters and do 100% water changes.

As far as lights, they do make 'sold separate' lights you can attach but when I was checking into them it was recommended to not leave them on all day. Don't know why. They're sold online. A lot of people leave a room light on as a tank light.

Oh yeah, a heater is definitely needed too.

Here are mine:
