Some news for all you SKFers out there. 

Shortly you might start seeing stuff pop up about the new Mentor/Buddy program which is in the works for release. Basically what this is, is a program which allows premium members to sponsor someone they know in the shrimping hobby who is interested in becoming apart of our community here whilst being deemed a potential contributor and valued member.

Premium members will be allowed to sponsor only 1 buddy which will run for a period of 3 months. During this time their buddy receives a premium membership for that period to encourage them to become involved here with us at SKF. 

 

Onus is on the premium member to be sure that the person they wish to sponsor is someone with whom they think will be an asset, great fit and most of all an active member. Thought must be given by the mentor in regards to their decision and they should be able to show that the person is not a random they have had little dealings with and will not be one to simply seek a mentor for the benefits of premium membership without being active. If this case was to occur then a review of their buddy status may take place.

 

Obviously this program aims to help continue to grow the awesome community here as we proceed into the new year and the future.

By all means if you have some feedback we would like to hear it.

Sounds like the best idea yet. I would have loved a mentor at the start, might have saved me a lot of unfortunate deaths.

Interesting idea! Would love to hear how it may work!

 

Is it just for the membership or also a way to help with questions/queries/concerns etc?

It's both but mostly to help newcomers to the hobby land on their feet and help in any way they (mentors) can.

      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.
