hello everyone,

as you could have probably already guessed by now, my name is jordan, im from the sunshine coast, and im 19.

its only quite recently iv been interested in shrimps, i used to just look past them thinking they where overpriced funny looking little bugs, till i went down to the creek and caught my first glass shrimp, after that i began to watch them as ate and moved, filling un the tank with offspring as they went, so, a few months ago i decided i needed to get something a little nicer then a few glass shrimp (maybe not quite nice as some of your CRS) maybe some of the nicer ones in the cheery family, but first i had to get them a home, so thats when i started this project ----------- > http://www.aquariumlife.com.au/showthread.php/44619-25cm-DIY-cube-project-FINISHED...-pretty-much...

(will get some more recent photos when i have more time)

it's still a little bit of a work in progress, but i think it should be ready to house some nice shrimps before to long.

dont be afraid to say hi, and tell me what you think

cheers

Jodan

Welcome to SKF mate. I do remember seeing your thread before although I'm not over on AL as much these days. We have an area here as well if you wish to post any build logs.

Yours was a great DIY too btw. I did a DIY with those metal tubes a little while back as well: http://www.shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/showthread.php/187-NoGi-s-One-Tree-Nano-Tank

thanks everyone for the comments, dont have time to say much as im just about to go to work but i thought i would put up a couple of picture of the tank now.

at the moment the filter is an aquaclear 20, bought it and it turned out bigger then i thought, if anyone has any suggestions for a good, quiet, hang on filter that is less then 10.5cm wide, dont be afraid to say something

      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.
