taygu's 2 ft Crystal Red Shrimp Tank

**taygu** · 5th Jul 2007, 23:05

After all the long delay and waiting, I have finally started my second attempt to keep CRS. Have just introduced some CRS about 2 weeks ago followed by 2 yamato and pencil fish. Last weekend, just introduced another 5. Suppose to have 6 but 1 up the lorry during acclimatization.

Here is the little specs of my tank:

Tank size : 24 x 12 x 14 inch
Base : ADA Amazonian (brown)
Filtration : Jebo 825 Canister filter.
Light : 55 watts PL
Using fan to cool the tank (Now considering chiller).
.
PH : 6.5
KH : 2 dKH
Ammonia : zero
GH : Not too sure as when testing it, cannot see the change in colour. As advise by a CRS pro that the changes of the colour is very subtle. Anyway, as long as the shrimp survived, will not be bother about this.

Comments are welcome as I know there are a lot of experienced brothers and sisters out there.

Thanks bro...

Joe,

In long term a chiller is better for your crs.

PS : your stock level enough for me to get some from you

**taygu** · 7th Jul 2007, 11:37

Hi Nicholas,

Chiller will be for future "expansion".

As for the stock, will have to wait for another week or two...

Bro...

As far as you mantain the PH & Temp below 26.5oC
After change water, add in aged water very slowly... Dripping will be best...

If you failed by keeping crs by above, come find me and i give FOC crs...

Hi, thanks for the tips but dripping it slowly will be a problem as my CRS tank is on a higher than a normal stand. Unless I use a water pump which worth trying..

**PLee** · 9th Jul 2007, 23:19

Taygu .. chiong ahhh... chiller time!!!

**taygu** · 10th Jul 2007, 08:38

Just cleared the lower tier of my stand 2 days ago, making way for it but next day kanna invaded by my son toys

**PLee** · 10th Jul 2007, 23:08

**taygu** · 11th Jul 2007, 08:07

Ha.. then the CRS will be driving the monster trunck

BTW, when reached home yesterday, another up the lorry..

**PLee** · 11th Jul 2007, 23:32

wow.... I think getting a chiller more stable lah

**taygu** · 12th Jul 2007, 14:38

Got to wait for the right timing if you know what I mean..

BTW, which chiller you are using and how is it so far??

**PLee** · 13th Jul 2007, 00:08

I am using a resun 280... so far so good no complains

**Lala~** · 13th Jul 2007, 15:54

Plee , how often does your chiller kick in ? And what temperature did you set ?

can advice if that model can support 3ft tank? Looking for a 2nd cheap chiller to do selective breeding.

currently using a local brand (pacific cool)

thanks

**PLee** · 25th Jul 2007, 22:46

my chiller kicks in every 20 mins or so...

for my 2 ft I use a resun 280

and I use an Artica for my 3 ft

Nice setup, what's the water temperature without the chiller?

**bryant_16** · 5th Nov 2007, 15:31

hi guys, i would like to ask if a fan is sufficient for a 1ft tank for CRS?

**Lala~** · 5th Nov 2007, 17:22

Ya, for a 1ft . it will be enough . But you will have to see the humidity at your place too . It really depends. Get a thermometer to check the degrees that your fan can cool before buying the CRS .
