We sell the small blue eskies at work for $3.00 each, I got my shrimp from Dean in one :) Your local Supa IGA should sell them.

If you are near St Vincent hospital in fitzroy, go to princes st entrance and there is a spot there where they dump all non toxic poly boxes for removal. Its been my source for a long time.

Check this place out .... in Acacia Ridge http://www.cartonwarehouse.com.au/

I got 2nd hand broccolini boxes - 345X245X120 for 88 cents each - no min buy unless you doing EFTPOS the there is a $20 min transaction!

I trim the boxes down by about 20MM in height and they fit into a large 5kg express post bag.

They have other boxes as well

Cheers

Greg

Hi Thanks Greg, I must check that out.

The dimensions of the boxes I can get are external 230X160X120 mm internal 190X 120X 80 I don't know if they will fit in the express bags.

      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.
