Well, I decided to venture down the Wabi Kusa Bowl path and here is the end result, be kind, this is new to me so I'm learning.

Apologies for the poor photo also, but you get the idea.

Very Nice GC

Cheers D, I'm quite happy with it actually, have slightly peeled back the cling wrap just a little to let some air in, soil is nice and moist, so as long as the roots are moist and I give it a light spray each day or two, it should be fine, after a week or two I'll remove the cling wrap all together.

Looks great GC. Got me wanting to do one now!

Do it! DOOOOO IT!

that looks good, didnt see no poor quality photos though! 

 

Did another bowl this morning but isn't looking too healthy, it's half Glosso, half HC, with a Crypt in the centre, the HC and Crypt weren't looking too flash this morning when I got them in the mail, so will see how they fair over the next couple weeks, have 1 bowl sitting each side of the main tank.

I think he threw them out after a week because he was not happy with how they turned out.

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
