Were you using 6% solution in the Oxydator D? I dont believe the one I setup today was bubbling like the one you have in the photo.

yes was 6-7% H202 solution, but they take a day or two before they really start to settle into action.

the bubbles inside the tube are because i didnt wash it and the H202 was reacting with the dust from the catalyst.

Aah I see. Looks like the shrimp are enjoying it. Mine were all over it the second I put it in. Inquisitive little buggers they are.

yes mine too. as they stay in the tank longer and longer the shrimp start picking at the base all the time.

sometimes they like to play in the fine bubbles too :)

you can put one in the sump BUT i dont know how much oxygen you will loose before reaching the tanks.

it is best to put on in the tanks. if you need to buy a few i can do special price for bulk order.

just PM me what you need.

My rack is about 360L

Maybe built a 60L sump with Power house media later LOL

Half water for the sump should be 390-400 total

which one do you suggest?

Green Chapter cant get them in? You could PM Dean to whether he could ship some to you.

They should be able to get soon.. But was hoping maybe I could be a 'pioneer' to use in Singapore? Hahahaha...

      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.
