I think it would b a good idea to have a section where people can post articles, many people have written a lot of informative pieces that don't make it into the library and get lost berried in old posts never to be seen again.

I agree. I've come on here looking for specific information and have had to dig to find it. I was almost going to ask the questions when I found fabulous posts telling me all I need to know...

Maybe the library should just be updated with the articles?

good point mate, but yes that is what the library is for and its just a matter of pointing out the great things you would like to see in the library as i can only manage so much myself :)

just copy the link and pm it to me or one of the mods and it will be promoted to an article in the library

Thanks Dean ,

What I was thinking is a separate thread starter for all general type of articles no mater what subject can be posted, Called Articles. instead of having to look for a specific thread to post in your work in

You can always write the thread and message me. I'll promote it into an article. Articles here thus far are promoted thread posts.

      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.
