Looks good. How do you stop the shrimp from climbing over the mesh into another compartment?

You don't lol. Well you could make the dividers high enough to make contact with the lids. That way they have no wriggle room to squeeze through.

Nice selective breeding tanks, are you just using the sponge filters?

[Kimbo]

Looks good mate, how did you make those dividers?

[Loach]

Nice one Nogi :). How are you finding the nitrates with the sponge filters? Do they do their job lol?

[NoGi]

Thanks guys.

The dividers are made from stainless steel mesh framed in poster hangers but others have just used the air hose with a slit cut. Should be a tight fit and sealed around the edges with silicon to close of any small gaps.

The sponge filters are the only filters in there. Have really tested the water in this tank so not sure about nitrates.

I'm actually shutting this tank down so will probably sell as is soon.

Sounds good! Where do you get the stainless steel mesh from?

This is great Nogi, why do you wanna shut it down?

[NoGi]

I got the mesh from another member as he had some spare. Others have used the crimsafe stuff.

Shutting this tank down as I simply don't have the time to look after 3 tanks.
