Going to start a new 3ft tank after massacre of my shrimps..
already have resun cl650, but still wondering what filter is suitable to connect with the chiller?
just shrimp tank using ADA soil with some susswusertang and mosses..

3ft tank i like Super clear ADA look alike? , how much you brought it?
refer here http://www.my-mac.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15929

Aquarium or the chiller?
Super clear ADA? U mean this? http://www.adgshop.com/Clear_Super_p/105-021.htm

i mean super clear glass tank. those are normally copying ADA glass tank design.

No bro..just normal tank
Someone offer me 2nd hand jebo 383 that can run 1200 l/h..
is it ok with resun cl650?

Should be Jebo 838@1200l/h
see this -> http://www.my-mac.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15314

For me i will go for eheim 2217@1000l/h @rm499 with free media, although abit underpower, but if reduce 30-40% of the media, should
be ok to power the chiller.
Just like my 2213 , i reduce media by 25% , still able to power my hailea HS-28A on my 2 ft.

Ppl using taiyocf1000 , said good. Maybe you can give that a try, quite cheap also at RM150 new , Bro weijie selling it.

wow. like that a lot wor. what a wonderful shrimps you got there. huhu. tomorrow gonna buy cubic 1ft and slowly gonna setup.huhuh

Really, don't want go for 2ft? Higher water capacity, more easy to maintain water parameter. Im going 3ft or more for my next upgrade.

got no budget to buy lighting lor.huhu. i really2 love to.huhu

shrimps tank no need high light , 15w clip on light is enough to grow moss.

shrimps~ lots of them

is it? in that case, i can start to scape lor.hehe.

how thick exactly the substrat to put?

Pmed you bro. Sorry for the late reply. Just got back from travelling.

anyone breed chocolate shrimps here???

how thick the substrate is depend how deep is your pocket , but not overly thick , for me minimum 2.5cm till 6cm max.
my 1feet tank soil is 2.5cm thick(Fluval stratum shrimp soil), the new 50cm(benibachi soil) one is around 3.5cm thick. The 2ft(ADA new amazonia) is 7cm thick(but this one is exception cos initially it was a planted tank).
What substrate you plan to use ? ADA new amazonia ? if ADA , need to cycle longer cos it leech ammonia for at least a months.

You can calculate how many liters of soil you need by using this formula -> Tank(Length) x Tank(Width) x desired soil height/10 ,
Let say you want soil to be 3cm thick in your 1feet cube tank , then (3 x 3) x 3/10 = 2.7litres.

is it normal for my male RCS to rape my new yamato?
from my observation, i see all my females are berried or in the process of berrying(eggs inside their body), is this the cause?

they only harassing, but normally the other way round cos yamato normally 2x size of RCS unless you got those junior yamato.

the yamato's are twice the size of the males
hurm, maybe ure right since all thsoe RCS females already got raped

i think my pesticide effect on tank already gone. shrimp eat normally, act normally. thanks to mr arrow for the guide. now can start dosing fertilizer normally.

congrats boss

congrats .. remove the activated carbon if all things alright now as an exhausted activated carbon can release back toxin to the tank.
