I got mine on eBay from china takes about 3wks to get here but they cost me 2.73 each I only got them from there as I only found them around the $12 mark at shops here. And when your purchasing 12 of them the $9 saving from ** adds up!!

Hi there,

sorry I took a while to reply. Just punch in item 300682339081 in the search bar of eBay sorry these cost me 3.59 ** however when I looked at the measurements compared to the $2.05 ones they are much longer sponges. Being 12cm x 6cm each sponge as compared to 8cm x 4.5cm

you can tell by the amount of bars each sponge has. Hope this helps, that item number I gave you is the cheapest 12x6 sponge one I could find :)

Damned thats an excellent price, mine weren't that good. Need to note that for any future purchases.

Those eBay ones tend to clog up really quick compared to others but as long as you keep with maintenance its all good.

Ive been wanting to add more filtration to my tank for some time now, thanks for the links.

Although you could buy 2 of the smaller ones for roughly the same price as the larger one.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      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.

      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.
