ctaylor3737 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Sound like your having lots of luck breeding your shrimp, hope the angels do better this time. Sorry to hear about you 90. Let me know if you want to buy or trade for a used 90 I have one in my garage collecting dust. Thanks for the offer, I actually pulled all the silicone out today. It was soo old that I took it out with my fingers and just pulled on it and it all came out lol. So letting it dry tonight fully then tomorrow I am going to silicone it and let it dry for a week before I fill it again. I actually think I am getting a 125g from Chris in Jamesville. Seems a guy stiffed them on it and they are letting it go cheap. Going to see him tomorrow to grab it up! I will be able to reseal my 90, I am ordering my bulkheads today and just going to hook up a 30g sump on it instead of my cannisters. Will be alot more efficient to run with a sump then to have a few filters going at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 UGH about the 90g. Were you there when it happened? Yea I was there, it was leaking and I seen it.

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 You should do a DIY in the DIY section of how to re-silicone a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 That's an idea, I will have to do that. Ill take some pictures tomorrow when I finally get around to doing it. I got all the silicone out today before work and have it cleaned up, put a fan in there to really make sure the tank is good and dry. Stopping at Lowes on the way home in the morning to get a few tubes of silicone. I use the GE silicone I to do this as its a lot cheaper than the others marked for aquatic use. I will write something up here later tonight when I get some free time! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Seems like its been forever since an update, I finally got the seal fixed on my 90g and it is up and running once again! All my tanks are a flurry of activity I really took a break from selling and stuff due to reasons that kept me from being active online. Still did alot of work in my fish room but life happens! My Sulawesi tank has more babies than I can count and I have setup another 20L for them so that I can give them a bigger home as they grow out of this 8g tank. My Green Dragon Plecos that I have been trying to get to spawn for a year have finally paired up and I went down this morning and there are about 100 fry in the tank and they are very active and look great! I started to be more active in the local fish group and going to the meetings it has been alot of fun to meet the guys and hear thier stories about thier tanks! Besides here I only know of a handful of people in the area that are really into the shrimp and aquatics. My buddy and I have started a facebook group for central new york that has been getting pretty active. Check out CNYAS! I have also had some pretty good luck with my guppies and also my Taiwan Bee tank. I have probably 15 new Taiwan Bee shrimp that in my tank now. It seems like everything is going on a breeding kick! Or I have just left them alone long enough to really take off! I don't really remember the last time that I sold any shrimp in the mail. I have traded a few locally and sold some to the LFS but never really sold anything on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 New stock pictures! Tube is out about to spawn Green Dragon Plecos Not so sure these are bloody marys just have fry from them so well see. I need to take more tomorrow of each tank. This is just the last few before lights out. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 My pleco tanks have done great have a lot of fry that is a couple months old. They will be about the size to get rid of a few of them. All the angels have been doing great! Have 10 philipino blues that are a couple months old now. Spawning has slowed down some and haven't seen much action this month. Had a few small discus spawns but they are terrible parents and eat the babies once they hatch. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Since I have neglected my awesome basement remodel, seems I owe everyone an update. I am taking more pictures tomorrow to show the progress. It has been about a year since I updated this. As with all fish rooms it is still a work in progress. Putting in central air was the best upgrade that I ever did. My fish room is quiet as I have my pump in my water storage room. I have no power filters or heaters anymore in my room. I have mostly went to LED lighting so my cost to run my fish room now is miniscule compared to what I used to use. Tanks I have now: X1 5.5, X15 10g, x4 20L, X2 29g, x1 55g, 180g tank empty but going up soon. I also focused on all my stands and framed them in to give a more of a show appearance. I am also putting the 180g into the wall and having the backside open to my water storage area. I plan on creating a whole new journal for that progect. I will be a full high tech planted tank. No sure of stock yet but due to its size I will have alot. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Awesome thread; Back in the day, I was into a lot of the same fish too. Is your fish room finished? If possible, I would love to see more of it!I plan on taking some pics tonight.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamski Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Great Fishroom.Thanks for sharing. You might consider adding dehumidifier to keep humidity and eventually the mold away from the rest of the house. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Will be posting more updates tomorrow showing my whole room and all the changes. My friend is coming with an awesome camera to shoot my new shrimp food in action and to highlight all the changes in my room. Lots of exciting things coming as I am getting more back into shrimps. I used to be one of the top posters here at one time with Soothing. I have been around since there was 3 members lol.
