Actually i cycled the water for about 3-4 days only.
My current Ph for the tank is 7.8 - 8
Gh is around 4-5
Temperature is 26-27 degrees.
Ammonia close to zero
Nitrate level near zero also.
Note :I used my aged old canister filter which is running for
my other tanks, thats why i cycled my tank for 3-4 days only.
Growing old with this forum.. :)
bro, the gravel you are using, is it magic soil or ada aquasoil?
Adoketa, Breitbinden, Paciquamis, Diplotaenia, Elizabethae, Mendezi, Inka, Agassizi, L046, L066, Crystal Red Shrimps
There is 3 layered of gravel in my tank.
The bottom level is layered with aquaclay.
Second level is coral chips and the top layer is magic soil.
may i know how many kg of coral chip you use?
Very nice augustine...
How many pieces of sula shrimps you have in the tank now?
I used about half a bag of coral chips.
Roughly about 20 pieces of Sulawesi Shrimps in my current tank.
i throw ½bag in my 2ft as well over my sand.
but my kH can't even hit 4
is there any tricks here? add magic soil?
Maybe? Not too sure myself also.
Btw, updates on my shrimps.
4 casualties so far, and same species some more.
The ones in full red/maroon with little yellow stripes on their
backs. I have got 6 of them now left 2....Sigh
The rest are doing well so far.
Hi Bro.
A very nice yet simple set-up you have.
May have to learn from you someday.
KEEP IT UP
Thanks for your compliment.
Very nice setup indeed. How many types of Sulawesi shrimps you have in there?
Got roughly about 10-12 pieces in the tank now.
They tend to hide behide the rocks hardly venturing out in the open.
Maybe not so stable as yet.
I also setup a 2ft tank last week.
Using an cycled cannister as well.
I introduce 2 pieces of Sulawesi shrimps and seems like not so active as compare to other shrimps.
Maybe the tank still not stable.
Mine don't look active at all. They are always hiding....
Need to physically count them to ensure they are there.
Very stressful every morning need to head count them.
That's quite weird that actually i saw those sulawesi shrimps at Colorful and CRSHaven which very active. Both of the LFS with air conditioned.
Richard from colourful told me that maybe not stable yet.
Hopefully they come out in the open to feed and show-off their colourful
bodies.
