Now, I forgot something REALLY important!!

 

We have an aussie winner but have not given our international members a chance to win their prize.

 

I have removed the answers and hopefully nobody overseas got to see them.

 

Looking forward to your guesses boys and girls!!

 

No further entries from Australia please!!

Thankyou everyone and goodluck in the rest of the comps :-)

It is an awesome prize, can't wait to get it setup beside the couch and decide what shrimp to have in there.

Thank you TechDen, I love it!

It arrived last night, to the squeals of delight from my 2 happy dancing kids. I put it together last night and hopefully I get a chance to set it up and get it running tonight. The pet shop I get my dog food from had some heavily discounted Crypt Parvas, plus a few others, so I had to get them for the new tank lol

Sounds like you have have a plan for it and would love to see it all kitted up the you want with the plants and everything.

I'm still thinking about how I'd like to plant it out, but I'll give driftwood a miss in this one and hopefully go for some nice inert rock and plant the Dwarf hair grass I have growing out the back in there. I'm still thinking about the crypts, I couldn't pass up 10-13 Parvas for $10 and might use them in one of the other tanks.

It's harder trying to decide which of our shrimp to rehome in their, or see if I can sneak in another type of shrimp lol

      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.
