They all look great. The top tank with divider looks very professional!! Does the last 2ft or 3ft have anything in them yet, If not what do you have planned?? At the moment I`m my own minister of finance... that never ends well when you walk in an aquarium shop. But luckily I have space restrictions as I still live at home :D

Nice collection of tanks yowie, is the DIY substrate your own concoction? What kind of ph level does it hold?

thanks guys

Dan the last 2 footer has a 2 female cherries for selective breeding still trying to pick the male atm got it down to 2 lol, and the 3 footer has most of the breeder cherries as rearanging the fish/shrimp room to accomodate the next phase of the shrimp tanks. got a couple more 2 footers that am in the process of dividing for more options with selective breeding

watergun only java moss is in 2nd pic on the right rest is mainly willow moss with a couple of native mosses that i picked up floating down a creek

SKFadmin yer that have to be my fav as well. was also my 1st shrimp tank

Fox the substarate is basically the one done by 2tonned.this has only been setup for bout 5 weeks and is holding around 6.8 as the water going in is tapwater and its fairly high ph here. other tanks receive RO or rainwater

      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.

      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.

      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.
