Im sure everyone has seen this one place or another but just wanted to see a show of hands if there will be an SKF presence at this Garage Sale?

Ill be there and ive seen Johnny Dexters show his interest so what other SKF'ers will be there. Hopefully the guest of honour that resembles an immortal tropical stone fruit will be in attendance.

Prepare your non perishables first..lights, accessories, books, magazines, pumps and etc (either put a price or make it free or swap)2. 48 hours before the event, scoop out the fish, plants or shrimps that you want to trade/sell/freebies and purge them for the two days..this means less ammonia in the bag when you bag them up..and the night before bag em up.3. Try to get a chair and a foldup table and some spare cash.4. Bring yourself to the event and enjoy the day.If you are going to sell stuff, consider how much you want for your stuff..remember that most people would be like you, they wouldn't have a huge amount of funds with them so consider either accepting paypal or price your items accordingly.If you have anything interesting that people might want/ like then consider giving people a heads up so they can know what to expect and the costs....from there you can determine if it's worth bringing or not.

Theres always a price!!!

Should also have said your only real mistake was the "Yes?" component. What you should have responded with was "What fish meet? That was last year wasn't it?"

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.

      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.
