post-23-139909855584_thumb.jpgJust thought I'd share a pic of my sumped setup. I only bought this around a month ago off of Torface, however she left the substrate and sump intact with water remaining in it to prevent much cycling :D Currently, I have 9x ss crs in lower right section, 2x bb Juvies in lower middle section (thanks Ace!), and 11x goldens in upper right section (thanks blue bolts!)

Im thinking of having some ss-SSS CBS in Middle upper tank, and in lower left I plan to have king kongs and Ruby's :) I have a few mishlings coming soon too with 3 more juvi bbs, but not sure what to do with the mishlings yet.. Not sure if I should keep them separate until I can sex them or what?? Hmm, anyway, pic below :)

Setup looks awesome, sounds like you have a great plan & a very cool journey ahead. :victorious: This is the third house I've seen this setup in & it looks as stunning as it did the first time I saw it, now I just want to see it with as many shrimpies as there were when I first saw it. :triumphant:

I'd definitely keep the mischlings separate & wait till you can sex them, then put the females in with either the BB, KK or RR males. :encouragement:

Looks great..... More importantly, you've got a plan/goal. Great work, looking to see them filled with shrimps.

      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

      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.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
