Classifieds and members

The only reason I decided to subscribe to SKF originally was because I wanted to be able to checkout the the classifieds section. I don't think I would have decided to pay the membership fee if I could've checked out the classifieds as a non paying member.

But since I've discovered how great SKF and the SKF community are, I'm happy to remain a subscribed member if the classifieds are opened up for viewing to all members. And I really prefer that only paying members can list for sale adds and the seller can choose who they sell to.

Thanks for the feedback and what you have described is pretty much the way it's done now. Only subscribers can list new sale threads.  :bling:

Having seen recently the numerous different names given for the same type of shrimp and confusion regarding 'pure' lines I like the fact that we have certain standards here at SKF and I would hate to see people advertising incorrectly here. At least if it is members only listing our moderators will have some control over what is offered for sale. A complete turn around from what I said at the beginning of this thread.

      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.
