DETAquarium Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Glad to have you back my friend! I have wanted to set something up similarly in my backyard, to add culls. How hot does it get? I live in South Georgia so I would suspect similar temperatures. Vinn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system itself is in part of my backyard that receives the most sunlight too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinn Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Interesting. Does it get very cold, will you be moving the shrimp in? Do you ever have problems with bugs?They've survived the winter as well. They've been in this system for a while now. I forgot how low it drop the last winter but it got cold enough for my tilapias. No bug issues as far as I've notice no dragonfly larvaes or anything. The populations of my shrimps in this system has increased so I don't really see any issues. I don't feed them either. I usually just throw in driftwoods that I want to use later on into the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokeshrimp Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wow thosr plants look great! What are their names? I've just started using riparium plants in my main tank but i was using cheap shower caddys and during a water change they lost their suction and made a mess in the tank.What kind of planters do you use?

Vinn Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I apologize for the potato quality image but here's my favorite red wine. I paid a little extra for this guy and I'm sure glad I did. Better coloration, shell thickness and colored legs. In comparison to the ones I got from Joe( the one in the background). svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
