I have a tank of hawiian red shrimp, MTS and Olive Nerites at full-seaeater 36 ppt. I have a 3 part cycle system that has been working several months I'd like to share.
Each week I remove 1/2 gallon of water from 3 tanks. A 10 gallon shrimp tank, a ten gallon brine shrimp tank, and a 1 gallon marine green water tank.
I add 1/2 ml each of the 2 part kent pro-culture ferts to the water removed from the hawiian shimp water and add that to the 1 gallon of gren water. I add the 1/2 gallon of grren water to the brine shrimp tank.
I filter out all the brine shrimp from the water removed from the brine shrimp tank, feed them to my fish and add the yellow water to the hawiian red shrimp tank. I use R/O water to take care of evaporation.
This seems to be working and I vary rarely need to add food of any type or more salt.
An odd-ball experiment
