I plug my heater to a separate thermostat with a temperature probe as a contingency. Should the heater malfunction and try to cook the tank, the separate thermostat would cut off power supply to the heater. Similarly, you could employ the same to a chiller (to prevent over-chilling) or cooling fans during summer (e.g. for nano tanks requiring cooling - to turn on the fan when it hits a set temperature so the fan is not running 24/7). The thermostat is going for $10+ off ebay.

Lucky you put this post up jamie. I have been having a feeling something was off with all the shrimp i moved into the new tank. I check the wp and everything was fine. Last night after reading the post again i thought i would check the temperature and even though i put my temp on the heater at 23 my tank was ard 26.5. I adjusted the heater and by the morning it was at a better 24.5. I am a bit worried it dropped by 2 degree over night but they seem fine and i found a newly berried gb.

At the moment they are in PH 7 GH 1 KH 1 Temp 16 to 20 at the moment and been up to 28, they are in a pond out side Ben can do a TDS test when he get here this morning Bob

Well done Morgan, & great comp Jamie

Well done morgan and cheers again Jamie

Yeah same, makes it hard knowing what's a Red Cherry and what's a Chameleon in my tank, as the Chameleons do it as well.

there goes that theory.

I have females with this stripe

Western NSW, suppose the states okay but most of the people are sh%t lol more so Sydney

Would love to see other states all create their own clubs. Heck I would travel interstate for whoever has a meeting.

As long as you use the heavier gravel on top of the Eco complete, which you are, the substrate won't get out of the pot.

I lost all my twb berried females due to a heater failure...i had another heater who completly stopped working during the winter and another one who gave me electric shock everytime my hand was in contact of the water. These were not cheap heaters. Since then i heat the shrimp room, still have a heater in the sulawesi tank though. Will have to get a digital thermometer with alarm for it.

Here's one of my favorite shrimp lately. It's a Taitibee from my pinto project tank

That's just happened to someone on a fb group I'm in. Their heater failed to turn off and the tank shot up to 35. When I was running larger tanks I used to run two heaters that were each about three quarters of the wattage I needed, so if one failed either on or off the other could balance it out for a while. Of course, that's a bit less practical for smaller tanks.

What's an ideal breeding temp? Yeah not looking to breed but if they do then great, but not looking to make coin or anything from it, as you said it's purely for visual pleasure... mmm, pleasure.

that looks sweet ozshrimp. only thing that could be improved is to remove any reference to Victoria from the image and replace it with South Australia lol jk. I love victoria tbh have spent some time in a few places there :-)

Show us yer .... filter! Would need to be a beast.
