Revamp 2ft tank

[rolex]

Finally decided to revamp my messy 2ft tank.
Sorry for some of the the big size pictures, as i'm having a hard time resizing....

before


After


Some of the shrimps which will be transfer over once the 2ft tank is more stable. Currently, they are in my other tank



Hope they will get use to the new tank when they are being shifted over.

Hi blackdye, it's loose us fissiden. Breeder box has some gap, some baby cherry n crs got trap after they swim into it when they were smaller.

Thanks brother frankie.. Yes its neater and easier to view the shrimps. I was lazy and left it unattended, partly because i was busy with work.

It really has a shape of dragon....

I used to put huge driftwood inside my tank and ended up seeing nothing except driftwood and moss..Haha..

So i ended up dividing it to smaller driftwoods and distribute among the partions, making it easier to view shrimps..

So rolex, care to share what filtration you using? Trying to learn a bit more on shrimping
Are you using any oystershells? Or you prefer coral chips?

Hi blackdye, i don't use shells or chips.
Eheim 2028 filled with biohome and ceramic rings, while prefilter and a HOF 2042 are filled with ceramic rings.
Do a complete cyclying before introducing livestock is very important in ensuring survivor and breeding.
Also do not change or stir the soil or keep adding new stuff/plants for whatever reasons you might have unless really necessary.
I think there will be differnet practise from each hobbist. Different school different taughts...
Happy shrimping

Hi brother newlife, the shape caught my attention. I bought it without any hesitation despite it being kinda big for a shrimp tank...
Nice to see you around.

I'm keeping gene and mixed shrimps in this tank. And hope to have a bigger population.
In the eariler messy tank, i used to have about 200+ mixed cherry/sakura/crs/bds/wr/bkk. Can spot the shrimps quite easily, but the planeria also increase in numbers.
Thus i want to clear up the moss/usf, control feeding, and remove dead shrimps easily

[alvinchan80]

Bro rolex, if got correct got prize? Hahaha..
