Sandovalsbco Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's a guest bed and I'm probably going to get rid of it. No one has slept in it since it was my bed two years ago.

Sandovalsbco Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 The shrimp are more important than the guest plus they may not stay so long That's what I thought as well lol don't like my shrimp rack you can stay in the hotel down the street. Finished substrate and installed the stingray lights for all three tanks. Top two tanks have Bottom tank has flora max for neos. After I finished this I thought to myself "I have a problem" this makes three 20L, one ten in the kitchen and my 40 breeder in the game room.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk As a kid I slept in the guest room at my grandparent's home which was also my uncle's fishroom. There were probably 30 tanks running 2 high along the walls. Never slept better than in that room! Shrimp Life and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vpier Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It looks really nice with the blue HMF and black substrate. One warning with the split tanks. If you dont want shrimp to cross and mix , they can and will crawl over the sponge to get to the other side. A lid will almost sit on top of the sponge so that is how I stop my shrimp from crawling up and over into the space behind the HMF. 35ppt, Soothing Shrimp and mayphly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandovalsbco Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I hope this one works for 4 HMF filters that's all I need it for.

Sandovalsbco Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Ok well that's good to hear haha as long as the job gets done and I have potential to expand lol. The tetra whisper 100 wasn't cutting it. Found some good reviews on the Aliya from here and decided to invest in it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have the next size up and they are the best on the market. I also have the largest one, its 14 years old and still working. The nice thing about HMF and especially Swiss Tropicals is they require less air and move a much larger volume of water than anything I have seen. I've been doing this for almost 40 years.

Shrimple minded Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 You're missing the #1 feature of owning an Alita........it makes adding that next tank oh so easier. mayphly and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandovalsbco Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 You're missing the #1 feature of owning an Alita........it makes adding that next tank oh so easier. Trust me I would have another ten tanks if my wife let me I'm pretty maxed with my 3 20L, 40 breeder and ten gallon. Once we move to a bigger house I'm going to have a dedicated fish room.

Sandovalsbco Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Added some sakuras and yellow Cherrys to my bottom tank on my shrimp rack. Thanks vinnie for the shrimp. On a side note the blue dream ten gallon in the kitchen is doing great. I feel like I have a 100% shrimplet survival rate. Here's a picture during feeding. This isn't even close to the amount of shrimp in here. It's tripled for sure since I started with 10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Jodster and Vpier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Shrimp look great. But do you have red and yellow cherries in the same tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
