Maurice Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi everybody! I have been quiet lately as we moved house and life, but wanted to share my new rack. The tanks are 120*45*30cm, divided in 4. The middle tanks will be replaced with the same as on the top and bottom shelve. Top tank is still cycling and I will transfer all the CRS to this one, according to grade, S grade left, SS grade second left, SSS grade second right and TB in right tank Same will happen with the middle tank, as with grading and then golden bees in the right side tank Bottom is Neos, left are culls, second left are dreamy blues, second right are Taiwan Fire reds and normal tigers and then left are blue jelly. I will update as I go along svetilda, sarah, ruuuey and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uslanja Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hi Maurice! Your rack set up is very nice! Your tanks and shrimp are absolutely stunning! Would each tank contain it's own unique water system or are they connected? Your camera skills are also very good. I like the pictures and hope to see alot more!

Maurice Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks uslanja. The tanks are all connected, as I didnt want so much wiring off filters and heaters, so each bank of 4 tanks has 4 double sponge filters and 1 heater and 1 cannister of 400l/h The partitions has got 2*50mm holes in, where I have put 45ppi sponge filter in so the shrimp cant get into the next side. The cannister filters draws the water from the left side, thru the filter and then back into, on the right side of the bank. This will work well if I wanted to do selective breeding as I can move the shrimp around without acclimitising, tho the downside is if there ever had to be a bacterial outbreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brolly33 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I love the islands of green. This balance between sparse and plants hits my personal aesthetic very well. I may have to steal this for my future rack. Are the 120x45x30 custom built tanks or prebuilt with dividers added? Maurice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi Brolly33, Thanks very much, the tanks are custom built yes, the exact measurements are 119*45*30cm, to fit the rack system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Haha, thanks guys! I am really excited about the TB project as we don't really get any TB's in South Africa, so this is a great opportunity to expand the hobby in SA. The most exciting part will be to see what pops out with the mischlings, as it's like a lucky packet. I will update on this venture when ever I can bienengarnele12 and DA SHRIMP KID 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
