I know you guys may have this down pat and all but when it comes to tying a breather bag, its sad to say but it took me 10 minutes to get it done. The lfs's make it look so easy. :(

I'm going back to my noobness now, thought if just share my struggle lol

I find the small ones very difficult to tie up if there's a decent amount of water in them. It may have something to do with my ever so delicate fingers.

The medium sized bags are easy as there is a lot to grab onto.

I have to invest in one of those little heat and seal thingies they used to have on the infomercials back in the 90s.... :)

Just twirl the bag around to make the top twist then fold it over once or twice and wrap it around with an elastic band.

You know the trick with the rubber band right?

You can loop it through the end and just wrap the rubber band around till there is only a few loops round left and then you do the twisty thingo. -not the easiest thing to explain in words....

I use a couple of rubber bands myself when it's local but if its being shipped then I will try to tie it as I have heard rubberbands can come off in rough transit. I also try to put on a rubberband even if I tie it for added security. Don't want any accidents to happen is transit :)

      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.
