My humble CRS

[Ecalyte]

Hi everyone!

After a lot of sourcing.. and purchasing, I've managed to populate a tank of about 30 crown/flowerheads with good solid white colouration!

Here are some pictures!

Woot, you must have spent alot of time and money. Power~~~

[Ecalyte]

Hmm.. well, the shrimps themselves didn't really cost that much. But if you're talking about the investment in getting to this stage.. then yes, haha!

Individually, the shrimps cost far less than the BKKs!

Very nice & expensive shrimps... All the best to your set up with more shrimplets coming your way....

Haha, are you sure the shrimps don't cost much? They are so nice and white.

Thank you bros for your kind words

For those interested, this is the tank that I'm housing them in

2 separated filtration system?

[Ecalyte]

The middle compartment has a gap at the top covered by a black filter sponge to prevent shrimps from one side going to the other

Initially, I had just one filter: Jebao 503.

I felt that while the side with the outlet had nice surface movement and good water flow, the other side was very stagnant. I tested by dropping a piece of moss and it actually stayed afloat in the middle of the tank!

So I added an Eheim 2213 from a decom-ed tank.

Wow.. Nice.. The shrimps have a high moss wall to climb up..

[eviltrain]

i don't think the black sponge is able to prevent shrimplets from going to another side. tested and proven. you need fine stainless steel mesh.

Thank you!
The moss wall on the left is new, that's why it looks so flat. It's tied with xmas moss from bro Nicky.
The right side has been there a little over 1 week, and you can already see the growth on it! Quite fast. Mini x-mas moss from bro blue33!

However, the shrimps seem to prefer to graze around the gravel, not so much the moss wall.. I'll see a few of them grazing there every now and then, but most of them prefer the driftwood and gravel!

Ahh.. I see! Hmm, I'll have to think about how to put a fine mesh there instead. For now, I don't think I'll worry about it too much since none of my shrimps are berried..
Not very good at DIY! Haha!

maybe post a side view of the partition, i might have some easy DIY idea for you

Ok thank you!

I'll take some pictures of the centre partition without the filter wool later when I get back home from work!
