So I just got moved into my new place a slowly settling in. So far I have not had the chance to work on my 30g breeder project, but today I had the day off and try to do the most that I could. 
 
Here's what the plan is so far.
 
1. Divide tank into 3 sections
2. figured out filtration
3. start cycle ASP

Got my first order of buce so I got just a few to try them out.
Had to take a pic and write names so I could ID them later.
Heres what I got:
Sekadau (1)
Theia S (x2)
Mini Penelope (1)
Brownie Blue (1)
Red Sword (1)
Pixy (1)
Blue Devil (x2)
Pygmea (x2)
The doubles were extras that came with order.

Once I get more tanks up and running I had planned getting a Brute container and translate this info to that.
 
Another idea I had was keeping another tank maybe 10-20g under my stand filled with RO water that can be easily accessed.

First pic is a boy he had nice color for a male.

Just did a quick write up on how I keep my rbt for a fellow member thought I would share. It's kind of basic so any questions please feel free to ask, I'm not about secrets. I have the high grade bb, shadow mosuras, and these guys are still hands down my favorite, so I want to share. Little background, have been keeping them for a little under 2 years, with a move across the country last year where I sold a bunch off and it took a while to recover. But since spring they have been at it and I have probably 600 now with at least 25 of those being berried females now.
Here's what I did the past 2 times i set up a tank for them. I use a 12 long with sponge filter and canister(2213 first time and rena xp1 this time). I used 10lbs of seiryu with maybe a half bag of amazonia? I believe in using a ton of plants. Been using hc for the past 2 years, the amount of babies that hide down in it is just insane, can't even trim anymore with out 10 babies swimming out every cut. Here's a old pic of the tank, glosso didn't work, now use dhg belem, and the needle leaf java got huge.
Just checked params the other day, ph7.4 kh3-4 gh6 tds220 temp 68-70.
I try to do a 20% water change every week, but I have a 18 month old so that doesn't happen as often any more lol. For wc I make my rodi and immediately throw the powerhead in and remin with salty gh+ to tds100-110 gh like 4-5, dont ever check just use tds. Then I just use mosura tds up to raise tds to what ever i need, if tds is high in tank I will use less tds up. Then i just drip in new water over like a hours time. Been doing it this way for 2 years and it just works for them.
For food I use 99% veggies. I kale and spinach like once a year, blanch and feed. Feed this when ever I remember, maybe 2-3 times a week. I feed frozen bloods worms every couple weeks, remember more when breeding is slow. I dont feed very much commercial food, maybe a couple times a month, have a ton of samples so usually grab whatever bag I find. They do seem to like shirakura special and golden eye food most.
Supplements I use mosura bt-9 a couple times a week. Been using it for years, shrimp go nuts for it, pretty sure it is just like bacter ae. I also use mosura old sea mud once a week with wc.
All I can think of for now. Most pics are pretty old but i'll try to get some new ones this weekend. Look forward to answering any questions.

Here's some old pics of my cherry shrimp when I had the tank up and running.

I had no idea about the salts needing time. I always mixed SS in 5g jug and ran an airstone in it for 24 hrs just out of habit, but I guess it was a good habit XD 

I had to give more of my money to Han but he was nowhere to be found. Then some shady guy (can't remember who) slip me a note in my inbox saying where I can find my plant dealer.   

Randy you make things look too easy lol.

I have a buddy who setup a whole rack with UGF + Aquaclear connected to it. From his personal experience he did notice quicker loss in buffering capability of ADA substrate. The exact amount I can't say, but he said it was noticeable.
 
Now he still uses UGF but with just standard airstone setup. He said it made the buffering last much longer this way.

Just a quickie shot from this weekend's set of shows.  That's me bouncing off a wall and doing slapstick in the show.  Not bad for a 44 yr old. LOL  I've always been the type of actor called on for physical comedy.

I love these threads! Here's me and my hubby Roy (aka mnemenoi).
