check your water parameters... what kind of shrimp?

Pray for them?

get water parameter test kit... different kind of fauna requires specific water parameters...

lol of course not.
@.@ how to count 1000 shrimps while they keep moving.

sudosandwich:
now i got too many shirmplets swimming around. thats why i wanted to get no planaria ASAP before they kill my babies.

BBA usually grow because lack of CO2 especially in high flow area. Are you using any co2 injection? If yes, is it DIY or cylinder type?

I won't say that G Series - BBA Remover is cheap but value for money. RM90-100 for a product that can last you over a year.

I have tested Snail Killer (I slightly overdose) and snails are disappearing. I usually have to pick up snails on the glass but none appeared for the last 2 days. I shall monitor further and update. Shrimps and fishes are doing alright. I am just sharing my experience and product that hopefully can benefit planted kaki out there and widen our product options rather than stuck to few brands.

haiz.. same here. i cant trust anyone in my house to take care of my tank. they'll just leave it like that with excuse "im afraid/dunno how to touch ur tank" even after i gave the schedule. no need my tank la, even my simple plants in pot also no one wanna help take care like pandan and cili api. haiz..!!    just help pour water only... people need to know how important to make earth green. 

is all ur plants melted? no chance to revive?

food timer, cost about Rm35 at jalan pasar.
cheap and easy way to feed especially lazy ppl like me !

heh, i got timer too. but no food timer. >_< well... for a week, so far i never had a fish died starving at least so far. the only thing is, POTASSIUM!!!!!!!!!!!! heh, i dont know but usually i just leave my tank just like that since no one gonna take care of it anyway and so far nothing been wrong so far even without potassium (shorter photoperiod). i dun have any problem to topup water also since my water evaporation rate is damn slow unlike using fan. just, afraid of algae if it occured anytime during my absence and when i came back... walla!! algae took over the tank already (crossfingers.. so far never happened)
hurm, i dun know about CRS but my other shrimps never die also for one week holiday previously. they wont get the best buffet of course, but the tank usually have something for them to much on naturally.... oh, and as long no electrical blackout happened during my away time, i wouldnt worry so much.

- looks like water flea to me. i have those too sometimes in a matured tank ... but they usually stay at the bottom area and hardly visible. i usually leave them because it never got serious like snails.
- this might comes if your gravel dirty with fish poos which those fellas survives for it. most tank have this but usually it's hardly visible because they're in the gravel or sand unless ur tank is overpopulated with it.
- u cant totally remove them 100% tho, but to minimize it, make a big waterchange often and vacuum ur gravel as much as u can in between foreground plants leaf.
- fishes would use them as 'alternate' food source but they would ignore them if already being fed nicely. starve ur fish and they'll dig over these pest. hehehe...
w00t..!! tsunami!! "WOW.. It's raining food, fellas!!!!" - Fishes

hahahahahaha....!!! it's gonna be funny if that happens. LMAO!!! i dont know, i dont use auto-feeder is because i enjoy feeding my fishes every night. it's like playing with them.. like what u usually do with other type of pets (like dogs, cats, hedgie, etc)

You can leave the shrimps without feeding for over a week but not fishes.

I am using various shrimp food..given them variety as I am testing out the product

Current brand/product i am using for:-
Fish
BW Staple S (day to day food for my fishes - Rainbow threadfin, Galaxy Rasboras, Pygmy Cory and Pseudomugil getrudae )
BW Pro Color - crush and feed together with Staple S from time to time (maybe once a week or twice if i can remember)
ADA AP-2 (sometimes just feed for fun cause it is quite old. Bought it like 1-2 yrs back)

Shrimp
BW Grow
BW Color
BW Spinach
CRS Haven protein food (CRS Haven is one of the LFS in Singapore and they market their own shrimp food).
Mosura Specialty CRS food (previously i keep CRS)
Mosura Excel (previously i keep CRS)
I feed very little and mix among the brand. My pygmy and fishes will nip on the food too especially Pygmy Cory and Oto.

I know it is a little crazy to have so many food but I think we need to give a little variety.

Wait till you keep marine fish..more food 

weijie - it is possible. Stan and the gang did it with Ah Yee 3ft tank before for aquafair. Basically they drain out the water, transfer the tank to a wood platform and put it into a van. They move back the tank after aquafair and everything look alright to me.

Update:

G Series - Snail Killer has proven to be effective in killing snails without harming fishes/shrimps in the tank. Snails are disappearing in less than a week of using it. I didn't follow the recommended dosage because I am losing patience with so many snails crawling all over my tank. So far I have dose 2ml x 4 instead of dosing 2ml once or twice weekly. I did a large water change yesterday and dose another 2ml again.

Recommended for people that is having snails problem. I am literally skeptical at first but this product prove me wrong. 

Note - Snails in my tank are Ramshorn. Size about 1-2mm.

if you have quite big aquarium, perhaps if you know anyone from a warehouse company, you can use this wood pallete used by forklifts. These things holds quite well too but it may be quite large in sizes so small vehicles like vans maybe can't fit. A truck would be possible

Aaarrgh... Have enough of DIY CO2 leakages..  Now have BBA in my nano tank.

Now considering to buy a reusable CO2 tank. Any idea where I can get CO2 refills in Penang Island?

try check NA subang

how do you make a 7inch height of soil from the back of aquarium?
we use lava rocks to create slope, and reduce the use of ADA soil.
This is an alternative way to save budget.
