Yeah those snowballs are really nice Buck.

That Mini Pelia Carpet is massive. Looks like it covers half the bloody tank. Wow.

Big thanks to @ineke the CRS I won at the auction they are every bit as amazing as I hoped they would be! They are setting in really well! And @disciple, my OEBT's are great! Definitely one of my fav shrimp, I can't wait to get them breeding and try to get some deeper blues! Oh and thanks for the surprise extra ;) now I need to get some more red rilies to keep him company haha

How come you are shutting it down @buck ?

ive moved every one over to the bigger rack, this one either needs some upgrades or ill move it on and add tanks to the big rack. Adding tanks to the big rack sounds better atm.

This one needs new soil and a proper sump set up, thats the main reason im shutting it down. I also dont like how narrow these tanks are. I might clean it up and just us it as a cherry rack with inert soil and stand alone tanks (no sump just air driven filters) but im not sure yet. ill keep posting as i make up my mind.

      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.

      Hi Guys,  Does anyone know where to buy PRL shrimps in WA, not the CRS please. Thanks Regards

      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.
