Hi all, my name is Guy and I have been keeping fish for years, in the last couple of years I have slowed down a bit due to family commitments but I'm steadily picking it back up. At the moment I'm reestablishing one of my racks which houses 18 tanks and is about 50 % complete and I also have a 6x2x2 and some other odd sods. I currently have CRS A and S Grade, CBS A and SSS grade, YCS and BCS. I also have L10a catfish, peppermints, whiptails and other assorted species. Look forward to chatting with everyone and hope I can add some knowledge to the forum. Will upload some pics when I figure out how.

Welcome to SKF buddy.

Your setup and livestock sound awesome, Looking forward to checking them out.

The easiest way to upload pictures here is by using a hosting site such as 'imageshack' (www.imageshack.com) and then copying the link over here using %7Boption%7D tags.

Anyways, Hope you enjoy SKF!

Thanks peeps for the welcoming,

I didn't expect so many west ausies to be on here so that is great news. Im trying my best to get us some different sorts of shrimp here. And slowly but surely i'm getting there. Well to the locals I look forward to meeting you and maybe sometime we can exchange info and shrimp. My rack is not totally set up yet so i will be waiting a little while to break out the SLR but i do have plenty of photos on hard drive I can post of my previous Discus setups, Malawi and catfish.

Cheers

Guy

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
