    nice to hear that. wow a male shrimp can mate with 2 females in a night? doesn't he needs to rest, like us human? haha. anybody has any idea whether a male can mate continuously or need rest period?

    Re: My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

    I dont know if they need rest.. Just my experiment.. Just scared that the eggs are not fully fertilize..but i see all the females still carrying eggs..
    I will slowly clear off my Crs as i believe my set up is stable enough to breed Wine red, king kong and etc.. Will clear all my Crs after my trip from china..

    Newlife: yes.. Thanks bro

    If the eggs are being carried by the female, they are fertilized. Unfertilized eggs will be discarded and will not stick to the female.
    Whether these eggs will hatch is another thing though. I've noticed some "stillborns" in my KK/WR, where the eggs does not hatch properly and the shrimplets die.

    Re: My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

    hey guy, i need your opinion..
    i would like to know which configuration is better as i would like to change mine if needed..

    CURRENT:

    intlet > Prefilter (wool) > Eheim 2260 > Chiller > Tank

    Option 1

    intlet > Prefilter (empty) > Eheim 2260 > Prefilter (wool) > Chiller > Tank

    Option 2

    intlet > Prefilter (empty) > Eheim 2260 > Chiller> Prefilter (wool) > > Tank

    This 2 option are the only easiest way i can change my configuration without doing to much work

    HOPE you guys can help me If decide, i will buy one more pre filter tomorrow

    Re: My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

    i am also curious eh..why you want to put the wool pre-filter behind the canister? The purpose of the wool pre-filter at the front is to prevent dirt from entering the main canisters which houses majority of the bacteria.. if dirt enters the canister ,it might clog up the pores of the media thus lowering the capability of conversion for ammonia and nitrite. Also curious why you need an empty pre-filter in front?

    Re: My Shrimp Set Up, Rascal Collection

    Option 2 seems stupid to me leh hahaha.

    Leaving an empty Prefilter is like defeating the purpose of having a prefilter.

    Just my 1 cent worth idea for you bro.

    Try this : Inlet - prefilter wool - prefilter ( With CR or wool again ) - canister - chiller- tank . Good?

    I think like this should be okay already. Even if you want to add another prefilter behind the 2260 ..that prefilter should probably contain fully medias...

    Option 1/2 with empty pre filter is pointless. You can fill it with eheim mech to break down bigger particles first before entering the 2260.
    The pre filter behind the canister before entering the main tank can be used to clean the water at the last stage, after going through all the filter media and chiller. So water entering your tank would always be free of dirt.
    Sometimes when you switch off your pump and on it again, you would encounter some algae or dirt particles coming out from your outlet. So the prefilter at the last stage will come in handy at this point.
