Its been over two years using the Benibachi soil and its time to change the soil. I have decided to change the old 4ft (divided into 3) to a new 4ft (divided into 4). Extra partition to play with hehehe :)

I have also change the substrate to New ADA Amazonia. Ammonia at the moment is crazy. Doing heaps of water changes.

Using the same sump for the setup as before.

Thanks guys. And still waiting.............. Bahahahaha

Did a second 90% water change yesterday and ammonia has gone down to 1 from 4. Will do a 25% water change at the end of the week and it should be sweet (fingers crossed). Wont be putting in live stocks for another 1-2 weeks after the tank is cycled, just in case but will put some commando shrimps in there to test it out.

Cheers guys.Definitely glad that the shrimps are in now. They were in breeding boxes and a bucket before. Was losing a few shrimps from stress. Just checked the tank and they all seems to be fine, active and looking for food.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
