Reply With Quotemy low tech tank ...
A bit history in the past ...
Try to setup a shrimp tank few year back in my office using the IQ3 ... because that time the IQ3 launch at Aquarama so plan to give it a try ... without much study just follow lfs instruction ... so end up disaster ... also another issue is the temp in the office can't be stable ... after all shrimp died decom the whole tank that it ...
all the while I been keeping reef tank ... one day one of my tank the fish just die one by one ... and in the same time been reading about crs keeping in this forum and other forums ... therefore take this chance to decom my reef tank and transfer all the existing coral to another tank ... use that tank to setup a low tech shrimp tank ...
still got a long ways to go ... and hope to learn from all the master here

soil - borneowild shrimp soil and mosura soil
additive - based layer mosura old sea mud, borneowild bebi and minerax

Nice tank , chocolate really very dark in color haha.
Careful the fan will evaporate your water pretty fast.
Yeah..you probably wont need a fan with your room temperature..
Aspiring to be.
noted on the evaporation of water ... been topping up using DI water ... and weekly water change ... hope the shrimp can do well in this tank ...
Ur tank should be all right as I am doing the se thing as you and my shrimp tank going to be one year all the best in shrimping
Bro, wouldn't your FR and chocolate shrimps crossed breed?
Nice tank, looks like mosura soil. Keep up the lush green mosses.
Thanks for sharing, in time to come you will be poison and buy more shrimps...

yup noted on that
thank you, the poison here is very strong but will start slow this time
fail one time before so hope this time can be success
long long time never update my tank, been very busy with my work.
Would like to check with you guy is my tank water parameter ok as below
PH - 6.5
KH - 1/2
GH - 4/5
No3 - 0
TDS - 150
Ammonia - 0
temp - 24-26
is the above parameter ok?
because recently notice some shrimp just died
will try to take some photo of my tank now the moss all grow like jungle already.
Parameter look okie it depend on what shrimps is dying. Condition of the shrimps death.... molting? old age? etc.
temp 24-26 you have a chiller running? weird that the temp can be that low.
The soil you use? (i see 2 tones unless i shoot bird) Top layer mosura? lower layer??
