Another year has passed and I haven't updated this thread in that time. I'm not sure why a lot of the pictures are missing but I think it has something to do with the forum upgrade so I will put a few

The tanks have just been trimmed and also because of the mirror backs it's a bit hard to get a front view without seeing the camera and me in the back ground. They aren't landscaped for looks just for

@ineke it's like getting a mixed lolly bag, you just never know what you are going to get. Sometimes you get some rippers sometimes some dreadful colours. hahaha

Awesome!

I wish I had 8 tanks! Do you have a recent pic of how the whole room is set up? I am trying to get idea for when I set a room up.

Please don't wait another year for the next update. haha

That's my room as it stands today !

11 tanks Disciple plus my big one in the lounge ?? . The room still looks the same only difference is the lighting and the addition of a reverse cycle air conditimage.thumb.jpg.9954e721f6a286c2f15355dbimage.thumb.jpg.39efa521544c53164269691eioner 

@larrymull I love the mixed bag the Taitibees give. I am disappointed that they are reverting to the pure lines but I'm hopeful that adding some fresh Tiger genes will fix that. On the other hand I love the TB patterns I'm getting

@Disciple I am using a bedroom in my house with a bench round 3 sides of the room as I have injury restrictions that don't allow me to reach high or bend low. If I could change anything I would like tiles on the floor and a sink with water in the room but otherwise it works very well for me. If I pushed hard I would be able to setup a second room - I have enough spare tanks etc but I worry about the electricity bill as I am now retired. We have a large solar panel system that covers the electricity bill completely but another room might just cost too much extra.

      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.

      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.
