Sorry if im stealing the thread but i answer what i can when tims not online. Apparently there is plenty of space. The cab is made to sit flush into the space. The only gaps are for the skirting so the rear and sides should have a gap the size of the skirting but also the window sill gives extra space to play with.

Thanks Robert, how do you get behind the cabinet to open window etc, it looks a few feet away from the window?

the tank is 2ft deep, im pretty sure there is a repositionable latch on the side that opens an closes it but Tims house is ducted 24/7 so the windows are never open.

Ok, thanks Robert, there is about 500 litres in the tank, are you sure that pump is going to be big enough? Is there only one hole in each partition?

just had another look at the pics and there is only one hole by the look of it, apart from the water flow side of it, it should be a great breeding setup, well done!

I think that a 2213 flow is sufficient for each '2ft tank' is plenty. Theres also 5 x twin sponge filters which in itself was all that was needed, the 2213 just helps to make the water conditions the same throughout the system. Only one hole in each section. Theres always room for improvement like adding another 4 2213s but thats a thought for consideration once there is a large enough population.

      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.

      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.
