Don't forget, pumps from filters will also add a degree or two to the overal temperature.

Thanks for the tip.

I also set it up without thinking... does it matter if the heater is on the inlet side or outlet side of the filter?

Its currently sitting next to where the water gets sucked up. I can always change it around if its an issue. I had a look online and it appears it does not really matter but as always come to you guys for help!!

Outlet side is usually preferred, as the outlet pushes the heat around the tank and even distributes the heat.

I have mine in the sump in the last section with the return pump, same result warm water gets distributed around the tank. I also have a remote temperature sensor connected to a heat/chill controller. the sensor is in the middle of the tank between the return and the inlet so it gets a reading of the average temperature in the tank.

- Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank
  
  By sdlTBfanUK · Posted Sunday at 02:01 PM
  
  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!
