Hi all, Just sharing a little "wisdom" I've acquired. I'm sure many if not most of the experienced keepers here will already be doing something simliar but hopefully some newer shrimpists can benefit :-) Since keeping more sensitive shrimp i thought i would follow others' advice and avoid putting my hands into the aquarium - i realised that i was doing this often by dipping my test tubes into the tank. So anyway it occurred to me to use a small syringe to withdraw the water.. usually the kit states 5ml is required but some may need other amounts anyway it's easy enough to figure out :-) Another tip I can give is that after knocking over many many test tubes and spilling delicious nutritious testkit agents across tables perhaps I could make holes in something to hold the test tubes in and avoid spilling them! I since discovered this is a common thing to do after seeing pictures of people who had drilled holes in wood etc. Anyway here is a little pic of how I do it and i'm sure there are better ways again but it's enuogh to give an idea :-) love n peace will
