**MedRed** · 05-29-2008, 08:30 PM

Have you lost any shrimp from them leaving out of the uncovered tank?the tank?

**bsmith782** · 06-30-2008, 10:51 PM

So it's been awhile but I really havent had too much to post about. The tank has been in more or less a holding pattern untill a few things happen...

1. Install my sweet new 2213. Cant do that untill...

2. I rescape. cant do that untill...

3. I take out the AS II that is dust and replace it with good AS I. cant do that untill...

4. The Snowball shrimp I recently aquired reproduce a bit and I feel safe enough to take them out during the rescape. Cant do that untill...

5. I soak the AS I to leach all of the ammonia out...

Now here I am! Cinereum nursery and Snow ball sanctuary!!!

I OD'd purposely after taking out the RCS that I could find as to kill the remaining ones, so that when I put the Snowballs in there would be no xbreeding.

Whats new Bro?

Pre occupied with a bottle of Captian Morgan!

I figured that was what you were asking but wasnt sure. I have had maybe 1 or 2 RCS feel froggy enough to take that leap of faith. Nothing I was ever troubled about.

I got bored today and decided to install my 2213! This is one quiet filter that packs a good filtering punch. At first I was worried about the flow being waaaay too much, then from the advise from other members that a nice thing about the Eheims is the flow controls that are integrated into the quick disconnects. After not feeling too comfortable about reducing the flow, I remebered what I did with my xp1 on my 37g. I just drilled out the holes that are in the spraybar, not reducing the flow but just reducing the pressure that it came out. Now everything is perfect and I couldnt be more happy.

Here are some pics.

2213 in the cabinet under the tank.

Mess of intake/outflow tubes that are going to be reduced after I feel the 2213 has colonized enough bacteria to efficently control nitrogen in the tank. The Mini canister will be removed and co2 plumbed into the 2213.

Shrimpsaver!

Drilled out outflow.

Happy Snowballs.

Tank shots...

.

Also the tank will be going through some changes in the near future (all photo documented of course). I will be removing the vast majority of Marselia Minuta and replacing it with some more delectible Erio's! Also hopefully my Cinereum's will speed up there recovery after splitting due to replacing the bulb back to a 23w piece instead of the boring 15w bulb so I can cut off the majority of their dead old leaves
