A big thank you to Mickeyg who pm'd me to ask if I would like some moss. I received his "little" parcel today and was thrilled to bits. A small amount of moss was Flame , Peacock and fissiden, plus a lovely bare rooted anubius, a few pieces of frogbit and some goodies for my two new cubes -max bio balls , growth and breeding sticks. Mickeyg thank you so much . I have tied (not glued this time) all the mosses and anubius, the fissiden was on mesh- I think I got that right. I have included photos but please don't take too much note of my first attempt to do any of this. I don't even know if the moss goes on smooth rock so will change that if need be.post-1019-139909848701_thumb.jpg[ATTACH]2019[/ATTACH]post-24-139909859507_thumb.jpgpost-24-139909859506_thumb.jpgpost-1622-13990985951_thumb.jpgpost-816-139909848705_thumb.jpg

Once again I am overwhelmed by the generosity of the people on this forum :applause::applause:

You did a great job tying the moss ineke!!! The vine with the anubius and moss will fill out very nicely giving the girls plenty of resting spots.(mine love to hide where the moss hit the substrate) from now on you will see very bright tips on the pc which indicates new growth so watch that progress and after a couple of weeks the flame will start burning which is also something to watch that's cool.

Glad your stoked ineke as my moss collection first started with a giveaway so I'm more then happy to help someone get a lil stash going.

Sharing the skf love people's lets keep it going

Ps bb you da man offering mishes to help another member out and me with the rillis. Aqua some of your flame is on that tile so thankyou.

Yes you just take it easy. Behave yourself and they will let you out soon enough. The trouble with lying in bed is you feel good because you have done nothing but once you get up and about it hits you so take care. Do as the nurse Tells you. So glad it's you and not me nurses make the worst patients!!!

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
