Soothing Shrimp Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 So I'm curious, if flow and temps wont fluctuate between sections- would only one sponge filter do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Correct me if im wrong but he should have canister filter intake on fart right side with outflow on far left side. If this is true then the dividers also double and giant sponge filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then the dividers also double and giant sponge filters. Yes, that is how mine is setup. The corner filter is acting as a pre-filter for the intake of the canister filter and the dividers are also serving as sponge filters. This feature is what attracted me to using foam dividers in the first place . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wot_fan Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I received 2 packages containing shrimp in the mail today . The first contained OEBT's that came from Dukendabears at buypetshrimp.com. The shrimp were well packed and all survived their two day journey safely. I added them to the middle section of the tank. The second package contained Painted Fire Reds, Snowballs, Yellows, and Super Tigers that came from Blue Crown Aquatic Trade. Even though the package looked to be packed well, the bag containing the yellows broke in transit . The other bags arrived safely . The PFR's went into the middle section and the Snowballs and Super Tigers went into the left section. In a few days, after the shrimp have become comfortable in their new home, I will take some pictures of them. In the meantime, below are some new shots of the tank. I added a little more moss to each section since the last pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Stick a piece of glass with silicon as divider Sent from my MotoE2 using Tapatalk That's a lot of work since his tank is already filled with his shrimp. He'd have to drain the water, dry the side so the silicon can be applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wot_fan Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I took some pics of my new shrimp this evening. I didn't want to stress them out too much so I didn't use a flash. The picture quality therefore isn't the best. I will take more pictures (with a flash) in a few days after the shrimp have become more comfortable in their new home. Can't wait for more epic wot_fan pics I don't think these pictures qualify as "epic". I"ll try harder next time Rivergardennursery, gillznglass and infamouz23 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citycode01 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 That's a great setup and beautiful pictures! Good job! Can I ask you how did you make that moss balls on the glass sticks? I like the look of them and would love to have them in my tank too. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of them and would love to have them in my tank too. Thank you Thank you . The moss balls are easy to make. I cut some spare filter sponge into 1" cubes and then used fishing line to attach some moss. I then stuck the result onto a glass stirring rod. That's all there is to it. I bought the glass rods from Zoro Tools on eBay. They sell different size rods. I ordered some 6", 8" & 10" rods and the combined shipping was $5. Qty 12 of 6" rods $1.89 Qty 12 of 8" rods $2.46 Qty 12 of 10" rods $6.07 Citycode01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wygglz Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 How creative. Those really are cool. I've seen people float them from the surface, but not attach them to glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wot_fan Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you for sharing this, I already ordered few rods on ebay You're welcome. I have learned so much from this forum. It feels good to be able to help someone else a little for a change How creative. Those really are cool. I've seen people float them from the surface, but not attach them to glass. Thanks. I really like having moss in my shrimp tanks but trimming can be a challenge when the moss is attached to layout material. This is the best solution I have come up with so far. I am looking forward to seeing how they look after the moss has had some time to grow out. Citycode01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really happy with all the shrimp I received but I think the OEBTs (from buypetshrimp.com) and the PFRs (from Blue Crown Aquatic Trade) are especially nice. I hope you can find a place for OEBTs. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
