Hey All :)

Great to see another dedicated Aquarium forum for us Aussies!

I am doing as much research as possible at the moment as i have only ever hosted RCS.

I am setting up a Fluval Edge in the coming weeks and will only be hosting CRS, are they much harder to keep over RCS? I dont want to go too much of a higher grade as i feel as though i might lose a few on the way, also besides the local fish shop, where can i find some cheaper options online? I have looked at Gumtree but i feel as though they are still higher priced.

Thanks guys :)

Here is a pic of my old tank:

Love that tank, did you strip it down to start again?

Welcome to SKF by the way, you will find lots of members here willing to help with advice.

Whats the bottle in the back left corner for?

Thank you for the welcome :)

Heres another photo i found :)

I stripped out down due to a mixture of no time and getting over the harder to grow plants, i then persued to try and run a successful marine - which i did and enjoyed but way more effort in keeping the tank healthy and much, much more expensive... will add an image below :)

The bottle in the back corner is DIY Co2, this heaps feed the plants Co2 through mini bubbles, it is a mixture of yeast and warm water which creates Co2 which then travels into the diffuser (down the bottom left little glass looking tube) which dissolves in the water, you can read more here - http://www.plantedtank.net/articles/DIY-Yeast-CO2/7/

& here is a pic of my now resting in peace coral tank :)

haha yeah no worries on the DIY CO2, i have run many a setup like that... i was on my iphone and couldn't see that it was behind the tank, it looked like it was in it ;)

what are your plans then for it as a shrimp tank?

Welcome to SKF. Nice tanks. If you put the same effort into your new shrimp tank as you have for these tanks it will be a stunner.

Welcome to the forum Beno :victorious:

Those tanks are spectacular and im sure you can easily keep high grade shrimp if you can manage a marine ;). Also, shrimp can be purchased/traded on here at awesome prices :), Though premium membership is required for all BSS.
