AquaTopia Aura 20L CRS, Java Fern & Moss Tank


GotCrabs

Recommended Posts

So now that I have set up my Mr Aqua 12G Bookshelf tank entitled 'Organised Chaos', I thought I'd pull my AquaTopia Aura 20L out of storage and see if I could get some Crystal Red Shrimp going again.
 
I had some left over Needle Leaf Java Fern, Trident Fern and Subwassertang left over from the 'Organised Chaos' tank so thought I'd throw it in the AquaTopia.
 
The tank is in the beginning stages, I am waiting on some more stainless steel mesh squares to tie some Subwassertang on and be placed around the Needle Leaf and Trident Java Fern.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing this fill in and see a nice group of Crystal Red Shrimp cruising around in weeks to come.

Mods, please close this thread, I have closed the tank down, moved plants/moss to my main tank, CRS will go into that tank also, am just going to focus on 1 tank at the moment, cheers.

      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.

      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.
