Ron Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Ron where are you from and who made your tank? I'm in Calgary, Alberta. The tank was built by Concept Aquariums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Nice, great tank I might have to find someone to,build me a couple like that.

StayMotivated Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Where did you get those tubes? Are those PVC tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Love the tank Ron!! What kind of rack are you using? I am looking at a 3 shelf rack, maybe two of them. What PRL did you end up going with? Can't wait to see more pictures. Thanks! It's an Edsal rack from Lowes. I'm getting Ebiken PRL. Nice, great tank I might have to find someone to,build me a couple like that. What prl did you go with, and do you have a link to the ugf plates you used and what do you do to adpt them to the eheim Thanks! Hopefully they'll like the room to roam. I'm getting Ebiken PRL and feel privileged to be getting them as this is the first time he's agreed to sell them to me and I've been bugging him for a while. If you google boyu undergravel plates, multiple links should come up. The knobs on the installation kits just need to be removed and they'll slide right in.

Ron Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Where did you get those tubes? Are those PVC tubes? Breeder tubes are clay. There are several different manufacturers probably a couple members on here sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANBU Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Any update ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 My bag of PRL was left at the Ebiken breeding facility and never made the shipment last week so instead Frank sent 5 PRL from his studio for me to literally test the waters. Week went well with them constantly picking at biofilm, I believe 3 of the 5 have moulted. I went and picked up another group from jumpsmasher yesterday. I'll try and snap some pics today but my point and shoot doesn't do well with LEDs, I'll see if the wife will trust me during her photo gear.I started another tank last week, this time a 32 gallon ADA 60-H (45). I used Africana and Amazonia in it to try and keep the pH a little higher than this tank. This new tank is more of a display tank so no half bare bottom but still an UGF to an Eheim canister, this time a single 2217. I will use this tank for my top PRL. I hope to bring in more a Ebiken PRL on my next order which should be before Christmas. ANBU, miwu and DETAquarium 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsmasher Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 You need more shrimps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 You need more shrimps Yeah, bad thing about having a big tank, need a lot of shrimp to fill it. I should be doing another order in mid Dec so hopefully there will be 20 more PRL in there soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just unwrapped my new set up: ADA 60-H (45), UGF with ADA Africana and Amazonia. jumpsmasher, Soothing Shrimp, woopderson and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Like the clean look of the new setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I do too. Plenty of "elbow" space to be about and look for food, as well as viewing shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks, the white dish is only in there for filling the tank so it'll be coming out soon. I'll probably put in a couple breeder tubes, glass feeding dishes and a sponge filter. It is 24" x 18" so there's plenty of floor space.

Ron Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Anymore updates Ron? Enjoying this thread. I added a couple breeder tubes and a gush aqua crystal pod, I'm planning to use the crystal pod as a snowflake feeder. I still need to add a glass feeding dish, mineral balls, mineral and maybe mud stones and a Benibachi zero plate. I'm debating about adding the sponge filter, I think it'll ruin the look of the tank.....what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I was a little worried the pH of 5.0 was too low and the PRL wouldn't breed but I saw my first berried female today, so far so good. jumpsmasher and ANBU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Awesome tank Ron. Any reason behind the latest one setup as full substrate versus the half bare half substrate setup you have going on an earlier post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Awesome tank Ron. Any reason behind the latest one setup as full substrate versus the half bare half substrate setup you have going on an earlier post? Thanks. The new set up is more of a display instead of just a breeding tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
