Here's a few updates:
Moved my buce's into the tank and some lava rock covered in mini fissiden.
Also added my eheim filtered that is full of nothing but Marine Pure Biofilter Media and EHEIM Substrat Pro Biological Filter Media. It has enough bio media to filter a 200+ gallon tank lol.
Last piece was this item I got from Han called a Choice bubbler. It's pretty sweet makes tons of micro bubbles.

PRL tend to be a beast of it's own. Hard to qualify as a grade.
 
Unlike normal crystals that are broken down into S-SSS, and patterns like Hino, Mosura crown, no entry, etc...
 
The PRL are more focused on color/coverage quality. So you could technically have a   S (better white) > SSS (crappy white)  
 
 
What breeders tend to do is break them up into entry levels (lowest quality) - competition grade  (top quality) and everything in between seems to be at the discretion of the breeders.

Orange eye on very young shrimp is normal and will turn black with age.
 
As mentioned before true OE BKK will not have white but rather clear mid sections.

I figured I share some breeders that contribute to our hobby. Everyone knows the big names MK, Beni, Crimson, Ebiten, etc..
 
This are the guys some might not know but still note worthy.
 
so here's some of their work:
 
From Novina a breeder out of Poland 
 
Caridina cf cantonensis "Prima apilis" (red and black)  Photo was edited and the red is actually white.
 
 

I do weekly WC's of 20% on all my tanks for the past 5 years with the best results. I tested monthly & bi-weekly WC's for several years and still found the highest survival rate of baby shrimp from weekly WC's. 
 
I do it with everything from low grade CRS to high grade Fishbone Galaxies. The Golden Calceo's in the pictures I've had for 2 months and the females produced 2 batches and berried with the 3rd in a row. 
 
My parameters stay rock solid & have high baby survival rates.

Heater killed roughly 200+ shrimp I had in a 40 breeder. The power went out and when it kicked back on the heater malfunctioned & cooked the tank. 
 
Buddy also lost his whole colony of blue dreams when his heater broke in the tank and took him temps to 80+.
 
Never again will I ever use a heater those things are death traps.

I haven't done art in a while but I randomly will draw or make something.
 
I did this one using just using letters/symbols on the typical keyboard.

Not sure what wrong turn mine took but they made this an not steels...

Here's some more
First pic is a boy he had nice color for a male.

Same thing happens when using any treatment. Ammonia spikes kill shrimp if you don't do a WC not the actual products.

I think the SCR is actually a RKK 1 line. Unless the SCR's are not in the picture.
