im sure this has been said by someone before but you dont need to waist money on Biozyme products..

simple put a piece of glass (cut up some cover glass) in a bucket in the sun for a week and then put it in your tank.

cut a couple of them and rotate them as needed. Nothing beats natural biofilm!!!

this is why i always keep a tank empty and rotate a empty tank for babies, but above is easier if you dont have many tanks..

you will get much better survival rates and healthier shrimp using home grown bio film :)

Thanks Dean no I hadn't heard that before. I was putting moss tiles outside in a bucket and the shrimp went crazy over them but I got a couple of nasties in the tank so stopped doing it. The glass idea is excellent you can see what's on it. Thanks will do that talk about thinking outside the square and so simple:D

Tori I think it would but I've just gone through a heap of photograph frames that I don't use anymore and got all the glass out they are a little bit big but I don't have a glass cutter. The edges are nice and smooth you can get them at cheap shops or vinnies for next to nothing . I've put them in my cull pool outside.

Good idea, thanks ineke!

I might try the acrylic as I have a few random little squares lying around :encouragement:

      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.
