Newly set up CRS tank (picture intensive)

[kunalrsingh]

any update on this?

[taytay]

what are those floating plants?

[sianzation]

very solid design. regretted selling off my 4ft tank and stand.

[p.albert]

thats wow hahah. nice partioning and all. the plants are beautiful too. great job dude. can see why that left u broke hahha.

by the way, can anyone kindly tell me the shrimp breed of spids' DP? not the scientific name, the common name would be good enough. thanks guys

[schizome]

Thanks guys!

Not much updates as of now as I've been busy working. Some of my CRS died though Transferred most of my sakuras to another tank with a more neutral pH. Started keeping yellow shrimps in the same conditions as the sakuras too as I feel in love with their colour. Heh. Still trying to figure out a way to install the toilet bowl float valve in the sump tank.

The floating plants are amazonian frogbits.

The shrimp in spid's dp should be snow/golden white CRS.

By the way, bro Jojoe has an even more solid tank set-up than mine so you guys should check out his posts! His tanks make mine feel noobish

Still not much updates on my 4ft so here's pictures of my 2 x 1ft cube tanks. Mainly sakuras, yellow shrimps and dark blue tigers.



My most favourite piece until it passed away this afternoon due to old age.

The blue shrimps are nice... but they dont look like belong to tiger shrimps, do you have closer pic by their side?

[schizome]

Oh they're not? I threw them into the same tank with my sakuras on the premise that they won't interbreed. What shrimps are these then?

[silane]

More pic of those blue, please, look like neocaridina.

[schizome]

Blue pearl shrimps perhaps?

[silane]

These are commom wild caught shrimp with trade name Blue bee belongs to neocaridina genus.

Can't be blue tiger nor blue pearl. Blue pearl aren't that blue and cost more as they are bred.

fantastic setup here... your 4ft is impressive...

Ahh I see. Thanks for identifying! Threw them into my CRS tank to prevent them from cross breeding with my Sakuras.

Thanks!

I will take picture of my sectionised tank and show it here, actually there is no secret, I invited the boss of Polyart and his worker to view my tank years ago to study my tank and they setup a similar tank for their shop.

Hey boss, any pictures of your tankset?

I realized that the temperature/PH sensor is placed at the last/first partition and there is no holes between each partitions, this may not give you a good reading. You may want to customise some holes between each partitions and block them with some fine nets or sponges for water "exchange".

This also help to maintain a same water level for each of the partitions without having the difficulties to adjust each of the "taps"

Can go to Polyart to see their tank, it is based on mine.

You can also go to my blog to see my tank.

My Youtube videos show my tanks.

Very soon, as fast as the model agree, I will do a HD video on sectionized tank setup based on a simple solution that was proven to work.

There are many information on my setup and tanks, just do a search in forums and internet, you will see.

The partitions are not all the way to the bottom so water can still flow freely between the partitions in the tank. The tank water is also mixed when they get primed into the sump. I guess there might a slight pH difference between the partitions but I don't think it's much to worry about.

I just love your 4 ft tank. sorry for another plants question but what is that little plant in your mosuras section? the tall thin one with the white buds at the top? awesome setup

[schizome]

It's called zhong guo gu jin. Don't know the english name though. Any bros can help?

I bought it that bunch from Seaview for slightly below 10 dollars.

[taytay]

I can't find it in English and I have never seen anything like it. I really like it though.
Any way I could buy some and have it mailed to me in California?
