Nice tank! Concerning your decision to replace the larger filter with a smaller one, with Opae Ula, it's actually best not to have any filter at all. With these particular species of shrimp, not only is it not necessary regarding keeping the water chemistry healthy, but they also prefer completely ...

ive noticed somtimes they push each other off grazing spots on the ocean rock lol

i have kept these wood/bamboo shrimp before and they must have perch/ledges to sit up high in the water streams to catch their food. If they are on the gravel scraping food it is a bad sign as they will damage their fans.

if you need any more info just ask.

they are all crawling around eating from the rocks and sand, they seem to pick up a grain of sand and carry it around with them lol, very strange when comparing to my fresh water shrimp.

are you using the prodibio biodigestto help your tank cycle? what is this products main purpose?

here are a few from this morning, i cant see any dead ones. A couple are still very pale and the others are turning red'er... hope a few being pale still after 15 hours in the tank is not a bad sign. here are some photos, exscuse the quality... its not very good in dark rooms. http://oi59.tinypic.co...

i bottled it and took my tank up to meet their SG

Wow these guys are a real treat to have I have them in a cup with their water they came in.

have 50 litres of fresh RO ready for tomorrow to top my tank up

RO water is more exspensive over here in the UK i pay £2.50 for 25 uk litres of the stuff, but part of the reason for the Opae Ula tank is very low water changes

update: So with the receiving of the Opae Ula being today or tomorrow i thought i better check on the tank that's been left unattended for 7 or 8 months. I tested the water i my tank after cleaning all the algae and scum from the tank/sand and rocks. I took out 30 litres of water and cleaned the oce...

Yes it's in front of a window but the blind is going to be shut all day from here on out, I have my led lights on a timer. The issue that I had was this tank was maturing nicely and I could access it daily until a sibling needed space to store his belongings and furniture cutting off access to my de...

you will know when your tank is cycled because the test kit will show 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and very very low nitrates.

think im going to remove the plant and hoover the sand a bit, what do you guys think lol.
