eviltrain's Shrimp Rack Project Alpha

[kendrick_86]

wow, nice photos... very nice for your cheap usb microscope... definitely worth it... nice shrimps too. brown shrimps also not that ugly ma..

[eviltrain]

haha, if there's any higher megapix and zoom USB micro scope, i will confirm grab it. Just love taking photos with them.

now just trying to get them to breed as much as possible first.

-new idea-

When i rest my shrimp rack to change soil, I will be using inert sand on the top and middle tank. The bottom tank will be replace with new ADA II or Africana soil. Most probably using Africana because it will pull down the pH level more as i'm using 1 tank for soil only. Hopefully this will still maintain the pH of the water at around 6.5.

My shrimp rack's soil is around 7 months old and be expiring soon base on what most shrimp keepers are doing.

I will be getting a holding tank for my shrimps while i "mini cycle" my shrimp rack.

hand itchy.... shall i get 4 by 1 b 1 3 tier stand?

[rascal]

haha.. bro do more bigger rack set up.. hahha spread the poison!! woohoo

by the way about the soils i still not sure what soil is the best in terms of how far down it can bring the pH orh well like survey, do more homework and learn from bro from AQ

[eviltrain]

According to what i researched, ADA Africana will pull the pH level down more than what ADA I or II can.

ADA Africana = 5.5-6

ADA I and II = 6.2 - 6.8

These soil are what most shrimp keeper in Singapore are using. Always wanted to try magic soil but no longer in production. Contro Soil crumbles easily and too fine for my preference. Have some problem with Gex red packet before.

-thanks for viewing-

[rascal]

for me gex soil works but it cannot be used for a long period saded..

by the way you peffer Africana than Ada I and II??
Africana soil color is like reddish right. i pefer black..ahhaha oh well

spread the poison around!! 5 years time i think many Local will have CRS in their house..hahha

[eviltrain]

I don't think that will work because CRS still needs low temperature to survive and breeds.

Yup agreed, taking into consideration of the temp in Singapore, going higher so no chiller no talk for shrimp keeper for the future. Some are reluctant to invest in chiller due to the monthly electrical bill.

[rascal]

orh ya!! hais.. saded but im sure it will increase.. slowly but surely!!

bro eviltrain set up on more.. so your hand not itchy hahha

[reborn4ever]

Nice shrimp... Thank for sharing...

[goody992828]

orh ya!! hais.. saded but im sure it will increase.. slowly but surely!!

bro eviltrain set up on more.. so your hand not itchy hahha

Off course hand ichy, but hor no space and pocket already big lobang liao... so have to settle with my current tank for the moment.

[eviltrain]

Hee hee, i have been using AutoCAD to draw out how my Beta rack looks like for the pass few days. got chance i will PDF it and upload it in here.

thanks all for the support and making this thread alive.

[eviltrain]

new photos in the house, guess who are they?

[nasty12]

Amazing close up shots!! =D
but.. were these taken out from a dead mama? ;/

[eviltrain]

yah, bro nasty12.
one of my biggest female SS crs kick bucket just only...

[goody992828]

aiyo so sad..... the eggs look so lovely.... should hatch into lovely shrimplets..............

[eviltrain]

thanks brother goody.
hopefully i can artificially hatch them as they are very close to become shrimplets.

for those who are interested, the picture is taken using my USB microscope at 200X manual zooming

[Navanod]

Haha bro, first USB webcam that can take macro and now USB microscope?!
Very nicely shot nonetheless.

Sorry bout your loss but I think you're right bout the shrimplets being quite matured...eyes all formed

[eviltrain]

haha, i guess u got confused

initially i wants to DIY a webcam microscope, but give up the idea due to the microscope part is throw away by my mom by mistake. hee hee.

most of the marco photo i took and uplaod here are taken using the USB microscope i bought on the net.



if she never dies, there won't be this photos to show others. In the name of poisoning others~

-thanks for your comments-

[Navanod]

haha, i had meant to say that you seemed to be upgrading your USB toys! Not really confused
Erm, yea, gave her life all in the name of science

[Kiatster]

Alan, the Gadgets you get from the D.... website is it? Very tempted to buy and try out. I love super macro shots.
