eviltrain's Shrimp Rack Project Alpha

what to do when your clear plastic pipe start to have algae build up?


i place a nerite horn snail in the right side of the over flow pipe and they happily cleaned up the pipe for me ( there's no snail in the left side to compare. )

Brobro! sorry hijack your thread abit! Need help on catching the dragonfly like alien creature i discover in my tank last night! I just got a baby boom of around 50 CRS this week so don't no how to handle that creature! Seems difficult to catch with all the plant inside & with all those new shrimplets, don't dare to use chemical! How how??? HELP...

[eviltrain]

i guess you have to sit in front of your tank to wait for the right moment to catch that bugger.

[eviltrain]

yeah~ 888post~

.some update. i move 4 SS-SSS grade crs to to top tank. wake up this morning and they seems happy in there.

.temperature of the tanks
top - 23
middle-24
bottom - 24.8

.my chiller is now set at 24.

.need to get a external canister or external pump to help push the water up to the top tank as my flow rate now is miserable.

Present for you Bro! Got the Bugger!!! caught it with a tong.

[eviltrain]

power la. pass to me lei. my damselfly nymph is lonely in the shot glass.

[bigfthing]

I throw it away far from my tank after torturing it with snail remover solution but it seems to be still alife after 30 minutes!!! Horrible creature! Why would you want to keep it? I should have put it up for adoption!

[eviltrain]

aww.. sadded. the one living in the shot glass is now feeding on flatworms that i caught from my shrimp rack. quite fun looking at them.

[bigfthing]

You Sicko! I hope there's no more in my tank! But if i find anymore i donate to you for sure! I think my crs babies are cuter!

Eviltrain, how is the led light? Was it bright as you've hoped?

[eviltrain]

Is it really 6w as advertised?

[David Moses Heng]

May I ask how much is the led light?

[eviltrain]

price and spec is indicated in the link below

6 watt led light <---- link

- 84*1210 white Ultra bright LED emitters
- Rated voltage: 85~265V
- Lumen: 588 LM
- Color temperature: 6000~6500K
- E27 connector

normally LEDs don't consume as much power like T5 light unless its those CREE or high power LEDs. the best of all, its E27 screw type.

Erm, if you happen to find one in your tank, chances are there are a few more.. Good advise would be to throw out all the wood you have, inspect your plants and moss.. Coz there might be eggs still in the wood waiting to hatch.. They don't normally come in a single one.

[bigfthing]

OH MY GOD!! That's not good news! OK i'll think about it! I am hoping the shrimplets could grow up 1st without disturbing them... damn...brother, still interested in adoption! haha
