G'day Mitch Always a big move going the full rack system. MTS in it's highest form..Lol There are some big advantages going the rack system you have chosen. This is assuming that they are plumbed together to that sump/chiller. 10 tanks and a sump full of water will make it easy to keep water parameters stable and WC easy. Cost effective in the set up and running. Only one cycle to worry about. etc There are also some big downsides. The first and worst is one tank infected, all infected. Other things to consider might be that not all shrimp types like the same water conditions for breeding or even healthy living. Having the ability to shut off one or more tanks from the system and setting up an individual filter for them in the future should be incorporated from the start. I'm jealous of you being able to set up a rack system. Desperately trying to kick the kids out of the house so i can do the same but i have a few years yet before they even finish school..

Gday mate! Yes all the tanks will be connected into the system. I was going to have a Biospon sponge filter in each tank and the ability to completely isolate each tank via ball valves and taps as well. I didn't think about disease/infection though, I was thinking about certain species liking different water parameters. I have been wanting to do this for a long time and just thought stuff it, I'll do it! I don't have to worry about kids though, only uni work. *pic is 2 of the Mosura Blue Bolts I got from Ken Lee that have inspired this build

so, that's a good way of having different colors to start and then go the selective breeding route?

Great work!
