Time for a clue/hint.

 

 

I wouldn't recommend just scanning over the articles, be sure to look at the whole thing.

 

 

No more clues, maybe........

It is worth checking them out, in case we have a similar comp and you want to know how craftily they can be hidden!! :)

 

And while you're there, its worth having a look through the library occasionally, as we have some wonderful useful information stored here.

 

Thanks to all participants.

Just wanted to say a big thank you! to SKF and to The Tech Den for this awsome prize. I received the filter block in the mail on Tuesday

Unfortunately it was cracked when I opened it witch was odd because it was very well packaged in multiple layers of bubble wrap and a sturdy box. Nothing a little Silicone wont fix. this will hopefully not effect its function.

 

Very Good timing as I am about to setup a new 150L sump for my new TB rack!

 

Thanks again guys! :D

OMG - Look at that - It bred - sent out 1 and you now have 3 blocks.......

 

Just jokes, not to worry - we have you covered. Will send out another one.

 

Things you can now do - you can get a serrated knife or hacksaw and cut it up into smaller pieces like little blocks or longer pieces.

 

You could use the smaller pieces for filtration or..............................you could attach some plants or................attach some moss and make a little shrimp love nest.

 

Up to you what you choose to do with the broken one but just a couple of idea's

      Planaria video - Chris Lukhaup

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      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.

      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.
