Recommended Posts

hey guys thought id share a couple of photos of my pride and joy, i know its not much compared to others but i think im gettin there.

Ive just redone this tank 4 weeks ago, brand new 3ftx14x18 using benibachi, just recieved my oxydator today from boss aquaria,:D

I use a eheim 2217 that was seeded from my previous tank.

Today i also recieved my saltyshrimp minerals so hopefully soon there will be mucho bambino.

water parameters are: ph 5.7 amm 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0 tds 150 kh 1 gh 6

If all goes well i will start filling it with high grades:D

wow guys thanks! to be honest that sub ball was very dodgily (if thats a word) tied on to driftwood with fishing line, its since then just gone nuts the shrimp love it.

i do like to keep the scape quite simple, less is more i reckon.

Thanks dean i got all my order. Bloody stoked! didnt take long to set it all up, i managed to find some food grade peroxide locally.:congratulatory:

Any tips on getting the best out of the flame moss guys?? perhaps a good trim?

ive gotta say that im really impressed with the benibachi soil, my shrimp are alot more active, healthy and happy.

now for the high grades:victorious:

Maybe shut down one flowerhorn tank lol. That would be a huge breeding ground for shrimps and mosses ;)
