My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

[bai]

one question,, is hs-66a and Hailea HC-300A [ 1/4 Hp ]
have the same spec in terms of the amount of water(liters) it can chill !! I'm confused about this..

hope bros out there can help me with this.

Yes both chiller HS-66A and HC-300A is 1/4HP.

It's enough for your 4feet tank.

Personally, Benibachi soil gave me problems and I reset with ADA new amozonia (normal) and Crimson breeder soil (powder). PH is about 5.7. But I have since added a few coral chips to bring it up to 6.1 as I increased my PH as I have fire yellow which do not seem to do well in low PH as well as the higher PH made the colors of my CRS better.

To cycle ADA new amozonia faster, you can do a 50-80% water change every week to remove the excessive ammonia in the water.

Thanks guy

Bro gryphon, where you bought the crimson breeder soil?

[rascal]

guys i given wrong info on my tank dimension its : 120 x 45 x 60 cm

With this size the chiller 1/4HP still can support.....your canister will be still quite strong unless your rainbar is very long and the hole is been modify to bigger.

hie guys,, updates on my set up....

I went to ikea and bought LED lights that i be mounting them in the cabinet



Today just when to buy my filter media, EHEIM substrate pro 5 Liltre, I wanted to buy 3 pax. but no space to fit my bag..hahha.. been carrying them around orchard the hold day but worth it!!!
will buy one more pack this saturday.

AWESOME STUFF.


This will be my final plan system:

1st: Prefilter/other filter brand such as Hydro Prime 10, fill with wool and pad and connect to Eheim 2260
2nd: Eheim 2260 fill up with Eheim substrate pro 5 litre x 3
3rd: Chiller
4th: Back to tank

if there is anything wrong or things to improve, feel free to reply

Biohome & biohome plus

My filter i put bottom ehfi mech rings > substrat pro > biohome mix with biohome plus > back to tank

Biohome plus is a very good media to house BB

[rascal]

Okie.. Thanks.. But i think i just stick to eheim substrat pro and i think 15L of this will be enough for my set up.. But will consider it if i see when i go to any shop later

Is that cabinet able to ventilate your chiller? I see the chiller being housed inside in the picture.

[stormhawk]

Not a good idea to place the chiller within the cabinet without adequate ventilation for the hot air.

[rascal]

Yes my cabinet have ventilation but I will put it outside as for now i keep it inside to prevent my newphew and niece play with it.. Hahah

[rascal]

Bro Rascal,

Your chiller will be inside the cabinet?
If yes, you better add additional fans to release heat to prolonged your chiller.

Your tank height 60cm ?
I will DIY a acrylic glass tank Scrapper as a gift for you.
Happy Shrimps Keeping ya.
