Great work Nogi! I think I will be asking you for more advice soon enough. I like how you have the shutter speed just right, to black out the background.

Mate, TBH they were fluke. I took around 50 shots of which I kept 6 that came out pretty good. Guess that's the advantage of digital. I'm stille experimenting.

What did you place the flash on when it was pointing down into the tank?

I have a cheap tank with lids :)

Ok, it was suggested to me elsewhere to remove the glass as it reflects/diffracts a lot of the light. I was hoping you had a solution for me lol

May have to look into setting up a rail or something.

Was it their first time that they were berried? If so, a lot of mine drop part/all of their eggs the first time.

Yea. Some drop a lot and few even died when berried for the first time! They should get berried again soon. Don't worry

Thanks. No updates yet. Just waiting to start the LED project for this tank now. Currently battling lots of little particles in the tank. I don't think my little 2217 is up to the task any more.

Was fooling around with my flash pointing down and thought I would try some full tank shots.

And one of my new fish in the tank to keep the worm population down. I had little bloodworms covering almost 70% of the substrate surface. 8 of these and another 8 of some other macro fish and 24hrs later, can't see a single worm LOL Must have snacked on enough to scare them back underground.

Thanks guys. No flashlights used in the photo. The twin T8's were actually on as were the room lights LOL. I had my flash firing down, used the 100mm macro lens and left it on the manual settings I use to take macro shots. Came out ok so I took another with the 2nd tree.

      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.
