QUOTE(arrow @ Sep 8 2014, 06:12 PM) If you are not keeping Crystal shrimp type shrimp that require low acidic water parameter , then go for sand setup for ease and fast setup, for 2ft tank , get one to two bag of shirui sand, and go buy and use Salty shrimp shrimp mineral GH/KH + salt to mix with RO water(you have to use FULL RO water so that the salt produce accurate parameters) , with this salt , you basically need nothing else added(save some $$) RO water , just go 99 speedmart and buy the one carton 1.5Lx12 bottle at RM6.50 per cartons, 2ft tank only need around 3 cartons, don't be stingy on this. Link to purchase the salt here -> http://www.lelong.com.my/salty-shrimp-shri...5-07-Sale-P.htmSetup using this salt suitable for all neocaridina type of shrimps like cherry , fire red , yellow , blue diamond etc. arrow this salt product same as salty shrimp sulawesi mineral? just add to RO water and can put shrimp

Between , I resetup because my crs keep die. Just wonder can the filter media which age around half years and stop for 2 day still can use ? My tank just have soil and filter media . Not sure filter media can cause my crs death not

Not sure filter media can cause my crs death not The bacteria in the filter media will start to died off if they be left idle for a days or two, bacteria need food from running water to survive, for gfs try ask seller what parameter they coming from and match that, you can start with 80-120 Tds and monitor how they fare. Water must be acidic range below ph 7; preferable around ph6.4 and below. Gh go in hand with Tds if you use full RO water , gh 3-6 be observed for crs.

Hi bro, IMHO, it's better not to use UGF if you're already planning to use with canister filter with chiller. It may deplete the buffer capability faster if you're running it with a canister and UGF is harder to maintain. Benibachi soil is just like any other shrimp soil can setup like usual and you don't have to follow exactly their step by step system with UGF as recommended by the shop. Better stick with just sponge and canister. Just my 2sen.

Think may need remove hang on filter to let buffer better. Anyway , I think you are right with no need follow the benebachi setup. Just wonder how u maintain the shrimp tank for said 2 years ? Example , beside maintain gh and tds, what else u will maintain ?do u dose bacteria and and mineral for weekly maintenance ?if u use ,can introduce ?

I use before this aquaclear 500 ; a big monster of hang on filter, the bad part is the flow too fast, the control flow button like not functioning. The more powerful your filteration , the faster the soil buffer deplete, remove the hang on filter and stick with canister plus sponge.

Just wonder is that fine if I connect two tank ? Each tank have it own soil . Will this connect cause water not stable or will it cause the soil buffer depletion ? I connect in this way because avoid to buy second chiller. Please advice

Please advice you can connect two tank to share a chiller , or more tanks to a chiller , this is call Rack system, either through a slump tank or without, but as all tank share a same chiller , the setup is better be the same(soil etc) with all the tank as the water is passed around, any disease and pest will be passed around too , if any.

Hi I am new in this hobby, switching from fish to shrimp. Currently cycling my ADA amazonia soil. Will need shrimp in a week or two.
Anyone has some fire red shrimp & fire yellow shrimp for sell/sponsor? Looking at 10 each for start up. (I had a 2 feet tank splitted with divider)
Hopes to learn from some sifus around here.
