High5's Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I should have my 20l up and running soon, just waiting on some mosses and a sponge filter. Shrimpo and ANBU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I made some progress, put the 20l on blocks and added some lighting. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 20l is almost cycled, so I started to scape a bit so far I have Echinodorus opacus verde, Bucephalandra brownie phantom, Cameroon moss, Fissidens fox, Malaysian fissidens and Erect moss. I haven't decided on what moss I am going to attach to driftwood yet, I may also add Echinodorus green spike. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Great minds think alike. I considered getting those for my shrimp tanks but picked up some Japanese Made lamps when in Japan. I'm fancy like that. [emoji41] (kidding) High5's and forumsnow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Great minds think alike. I considered getting those for my shrimp tanks but picked up some Japanese Made lamps when in Japan. I'm fancy like that. [emoji41] (kidding) I was going for that kind of look retro/industrial, the two tanks are proto types for when I build my rack. I wanted to see how the system would preform before I go all in on a room full of tanks. I'd love to see them fancy lamps. Shrimpo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Gimme a few months. I need to cleanup the house, make space, find a custom stand builder or wood worker to make me stands for 25g cubes. Once these steps are completed I can setup the tanks and lamps. Then I'll show you. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimple minded Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Are the 25G cubes 18" x 18"? I'm curious to know if they would fit (side by side) on the following metal rack from Lowes.......... edsal 72-in H x 36-in W x 18-in D 5-Tier Steel Freestanding Shelving Unithttp://www.lowes.com/pd_101932-1281-CR3618_0__?productId=1000525&Ntt=metal+shelving&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dmetal%2Bshelving&facetInfo= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I added a Echinodorus green spike today. The tank is cycled just need to do 100% w/c with ro/di and age it a few more weeks then it's ready for shrimp. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hey mate, Here's what the lamp lights I got from Japan looks like. This isn't the final home for these lights, but as I had time to setup the hangbar for another fixture, I figured I'd clamp them on and show you. It's pretty sexy. Color is that gunmetal silver, it's pretty slick. I'm planning on swapping out the bulbs with the Philips Hue and have complete control over the lighting. eozen81, High5's, Greenteam and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r45t4m4n Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ikea has some interesting spotlights for a decent price, the clamp might need some work though. Thinking about these for my upcoming build. Soothing Shrimp and High5's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 A little update. Crystal whites are doing well, I should see a 3rd clutch 3/10/2015. My first clutch is around 3 months and should be ready to start breeding in the next few months. The 20l is aged and ready to go, I will be adding shrimp in a few weeks.

High5's Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am about to revamp my shrimp space with a liner pump and a few more tanks. It's looking kind of Jurassic park atm the crystal whites are doing well and some of my first born are starting to saddle there around 5 1/2 to 6 months old. Using UGF and sponge filter is working well. There not that aesthetic to look at but from a breeder stand point they are productive, low cost and simple way of breeding shrimp. Here are some before pic's pre revamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
