It has been a while!

I am still not finished in the fishroom! :P

Currently have 91 tanks running. There is still 12 tanks to move from the other place. Hoping that I might get around to that this long weekend. As well as the 91 tanks I am running I have over 30 critter keepers with fry in them

 

plus a dozen shoe boxes which have fry in them too :P

 

I have just ordered additional 7 3foot tanks and a 55cm tank to go into this room. 4 of the 3footers will be divided into 6 individual sections. If I count each section as a separate tank (each will have its own filter) when I am fully settled in the room, there is going to be 131 tanks in here! :rockon: Plus the critter keepers and shoe boxes!

Basically that is going to be it, as I can't see myself having the time to look after more short of retirement!!!

Shrimp wise I got Red, Black and Sunkist cherries breeding, with my mishlings pretending to do so!

Fish are doing great, I got fry from 31 different types of fish.

These are 4 900by400by28 tanks divided into 6. Each section is sealed, essentially a separate tank. These are my fry tanks.  I have found they work great for me.

Here is the tanks in use

 

I also got 3 3foot tanks and a 55long tank made.

These tanks have been very useful in raising large number of fish.

      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.
