Wow!! 100 boxes. Just tell her it's for NERF skirmish lol

Yeah, I think I will be filling it with matrix again.

Has anyone heard of the new Seachem product called Hypersorb?? It sounds the same as Purigen but they are both on the Seachem website.

Also does anyone use Cuprisorb or Phosphate absorber in their filters? Worth the money?

Now to get enough shrimp breeding going to put them to use. I think there was a group buy earlier for these boxes, I thought they came in bulk of 60? Why'd you end up with a hundred?

After I bought 60 the girl said, 'we have a broken pallet, throw in for cheaper'. Nek minute... driving away with a car full of foam boxes.

Update: I received the filter yesterday and ended up going with the MarinePure Spheres. Why? Because my local fish store just got them in, they look cool and I've never tried them before.

On a separate note, does anyone know if purigen (macropore) absorbs No Planaria?? I have been dosing one of my tanks and still see planaria poking their naughtily shaped heads around.

      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

      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.
