Hey guys

Thanks for the comments I will do a bit of write up about it when i get a moment, things have been a bit hectic lately. Tanks are currently housed in my garage which is insulated with 50mm iso board. I decided to run a split system air con to control temps as it is much more economical. The top bay of tanks is running on a sump and all the others are individual hence it would cost me a arm and a leg for that many chillers. Last summer the shed temp never got hotter than 24deg:)on our hottest days 40+. This is probably only not quiet half of the tanks i used to have set up but I decided to downsize last year when i came back of a 3 week overseas holiday to find over half my stock dead or dying:sorrow:(its quiet hard to find someone who knows how to look after fish/inverts). Majority of the problem was over feeding. Not planning on any more holidays now for a while so im slowly picking it all back up. I am planning another rack build in the new year so I will document it this time and keep use up to date.

      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.
