Hey All, The next round of The Great Oz Shrimp Off will be launching in the next few days. We will be using our new Photo Comps App for this round. We have been actively testing it over the last few weeks and it looks quite sound. Pretty smart actually!! You may have seen the tab appear at the top right next to glossary and Awards tabs. Entries will be anonymous and you can rate each photo entered. The more ratings per photo the better, do try to rate each. There will be three criteria to rate, these may change each round. If you want to start taking your pics, this month's competition subject will be Red Cherry Shrimp. (Rillis will be a separate comp!!) You'll want to be in it, the prize is a whole lot of awesome!! And will be announced soon!! (hint, Big Thanks to BB!) Start getting your photos taken, competition will open in a couple of days! Happy Snapping!!

Hi all. Just got a pic of the new female lemon oscar It should be a great cull machine lol. Cheers mick

Having added another G3 recently, turnover now is x66 of water volume....LOL, anemone are loving it :-)

I have had some Benibachi soil for 18 months, have used only RO/ salty shrimp and the ph is still under 6. My tap water from a puratap filter is 7.5 and the one time I tested my RO it was 6.5. I use the RO for all my tanks but I did make a mistake and not buy the unit for an Aquarium so it doesn't have the DI filter cartridge - I can convert it for $50 which I will do next time I need a new cartridge.

RO theoritically doesn't have a PH, ALTHOUGH it gets influenced readily. If you breath on it (CO2), it'll show a low PH, vs oxygenating it (O2), it'll show a higher PH. Espacially with buffering soil, using tap water will exhaust the soil quickly, vs RO water where it'll influence it very quickly, and without too much effort. Once you've gone to RO, there's no turning back :-)

Just found this - oh how I do love Corys! Would love to see the photos later In fact my nephew's name is Cory and I call him Corydora.

Sure Ineke, I can see you going to get some more, I know this because I would be doing the same thing! lol

with benibachi soil and ro my ph water stay 6-6.5. even with tap water benibachi was great buffer for tb or crs tank. value using ro also tds if your tap water tds very high tds

LOL I just got shot of several hundred shrimp , don't think I want anymore just now! No I just wondered what they had.

They look great! They are fun to keep and to spot at this age! They will grow up pretty quick!

I'd say the tank has not cycled, due to everything being new, there is no waste to start the cycle.

What does this little falla look like? Snow/golden bee michling?

bit update with layout and put some plant abit to see hows it goes

As the title suggests. I would be interested in compatability. Also if anyone has any spots to catch them near Campbelltown nsw
