About time for another SEQ BBQ


Squiggle

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I was chatting with Wayne on the weekend & we thought it was about time for another SEQ barbecue. I thought I'd start this thread to get some discussion going. When are people free? Where do we want to have it? That sort of thing. First of all I think we should get a rough idea of numbers so we can think about somewhere to have it, so who's up for an awesome shrimp chat & good bunch of people to have lunch with? :victorious:

TA for the offer its a possibility , but most of the family is still in Brisvagas so might freeload on them? they are at Caboolture so Wayne might drive the boat to Redcliffe LOL, NOT, it would take a few days.

I will bring down presents if I come.

Sorry to break this to you guys but she who has to be obeyed has put her foot down and said if no females come then we aint going anywhere, so girls please make the effort, think about us poor blokes and the fishing!!!!!

I can offer a nice scenic cruise to Paradise Point where we can anchor up, the girls can go ashore for a safe swim in the enclosed swimming area and have a wander around the local shops while us blokes can get the BBQ ready and do some fishing and talking . heading back to the marina around 3- 3.30

If that's not enough, we can dress squiggle in a mini skirt, some thick make up, blonde wig and the sexy high heels. Say it's torface cousin. Wouldn't that work?

I have a spare room, and could mostly likely organize a pickup if you were coming up (you have to not 'hate' cats though) ;)

Is king island cheese cheaper down there?

      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.
