Limited Access

You will have noticed that upon joining that your access is limited and there are quite a number of forums features you can't access. Your first 3 posts are held in a moderation queue before being published. After your 3rd approved post, this restriction is removed. We do this to help keep the SPAMMERs out.

A quick way in which to start your post count is to take the time to introduce yourself and tell everyone a little about what shrimp you keep, how many tanks you have, etc...

Other features such as the classifieds and chatroom are only available to subscribing members of the community. If you wish to become a subscriber or view the benefits of a subscriber, you can do this through the SKF store. Subscription and sponsorship fees go towards the purchase and maintenance of all the extra features that members enjoy.

We do not allow classifieds ( buying, selling, trading) anywhere else on SKFAquatics. If you see a thread or receive a unsolicited PM selling/buying goods, please tell a site moderator or admin immediately. The rules that are in place exist to make SKFAquatics safe and fun.

Links to other businesses
Our sponsors help to keep the forum running and also provide some great deals to SKF members. For this reason we do not allow links to competing businesses. If there is a business that you are aware of that can contribute to the SKF community, get in touch with @cesar or one of the mods regarding sponsorship. This includes links in signatures.

Marimo Balls/Moss
"Marimo ball & Marimo Moss" are illegal imports and a protected species in Japan, as such anyone buying, selling, trading, showing photos of this species will have there threads removed & deleted. If you have this Species in your possession you are advised to Contact AQIS for the safe removal and quarantine of it. Failing to do so may end up in loss of tank inhabitants and legal action being taken by AQIS. This topic is not open for discussion on SKF.

Reporting a Post
The moderators are real people living real lives and as such are not on the forums 24 x 7. This means that we may miss some posts/threads that are not in the spirit of the SKF rules.

If you come across such threads and/or posts, you can use the "Report Post" link to let us know. These are usually dealt with fairly quickly as a private message is sent to us. Failing that you can always shoot us a PM.

Happy shrimping!!

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
