Hi everyone I have been stalking around here for a while now so I think its about time I properly introduced myself and showed of one of my latest projects. My names Cameron, I'm 22 and am currently living down in Bunbury WA. I'm a high voltage electrician by trade and like abit of shrimp and a beer or 2 in my spare time. I tried keeping CRS and CBS some time ago without much luck. So I lost interest for abit but now am inspired again! My new cube is a aquaone 30x30 running a 2213 filter, 5w uv, 10w led floodlight and 50w inline heater. Been running now for 2 months and doing very well. just a few humble red cherries at the moment as I work out what I want to keep long term. basic scape just shrimp sand, drift wood, willow and peacock moss but i think it looks pretty sexy! Hope to get to know u guys a lot better in the future Cheers Cam

I've decided to post this thread as I was asked to elaborate on my air system & I didn't want to hijack someone else's thread, lol :encouragement: So here it is, I have a LP40 & I use heavy duty irrigation hose to make loops around the lower side of each shelf, then I drop airlines down through a 4mm tap, the advantages of doing it this way is that you can drop an airline where ever you need it & the main air hose is above the tank so no chance of siphoning back to the pump & slowly emptying your tanks. The reason I do complete loops around the under side of each shelf is to balance the system, you get an even pressure all the way round the system. Now I haven't done this yet but I'm hoping to do it soon but if you get a short length(about 500mm) of 100mm PVC pipe & place this in the system just after the pump, this will provide a reservoir which will help reduce back pressure into the pump if you aren't using enough air & help keep the pressure constant, hope you all enjoy the pics :encouragement: This starts at the pump Then travels up the support of the stand to a T piece Then joins into the loop under the shelf(I secured it with every mans best tool, gaffa tape) As you can see, I just punch hole anywhere & drop an airline

I have the HANNA HI98303 DiST 3 for measuring EC (not TDS - but related) I got this unit as the Salty Shrimp additives use EC not TDS - this is the same model Dean uses - it is a low range EC meter. For TDS and pH I just got a couple of nonames off ebay. I got the HANNA meter through the Aust HANNA site - http://www.hannainst.com.au/learn_more/c:HI+98303

I believe this MAY be Dean. From what I can tell.... http://youtu.be/AvDvTnTGjgQ
