due to my bad grammar, i will keep this journal simple
progress would be about 6months to 1 year (due to high cost and need to build the shrimp room too)
Progress January 2015 (5/100%)
damage cost:
- 2 racks, 200cm x 200cm x 60cm with 4 level (800$)
difficulty: beginner
next:
- finding inverter type air conditioner
note: due to Government regulation, the old R22 freon will be changed to r32 freon, still waiting for those air conditioner, estimation 450-700$
still cannot find the best place to place the air conditioner due to location of the shrimp room
- choosing the the air pump
note: will i buy the small air pump? 25$each, capable to handle 4 breeding sponge, higher watt
or buying 125$ air pump + 50$ for modification? capable to handle lot's of breeding sponge, less watt
- choosing the water sources
note: buying ro water from 3rd company? or tap water with ro filter?
tap water with seachem products? would cost around 8$ each month
buying ro water from 3rd company? would cost 10$ each month
invest on ro filter? would cost 15$ each month
- water change design
note: dripping, do i need to use automatic dripping tool?
cost ?
- the LED lighting
note: using bulb led? easy to repair, got warranty up to 2years
or using UP aqua led? proven, more expensive, no warranty
or using DIY LED? i hate DIY, cheaper, could be repaired
cost around 150$ each level
- the shrimp room wall...
note: using glass? or using plywood?
is it free from rat attack? chance becoming ant nest? chance becoming termite nest?
is it air tight to prevent contamination?
- tank design
note: .... fortunately i found one tank maker...
