Soothing Shrimp

Offer title: RAOK: UGF plates Offer Submitter: Soothing Shrimp Offer Submitted: 25 Jun 2014 Offer Category: Shrimp Supplies Random Act of Kindness: I have 2 UGF plates. Plastic and used with no uplift tubes. Each fits a 10g I believe. Both fit a 20L. I'm not going to use them, and you'll have to rinse them, however if someone here can use one or both- pm me. Pay actual shipping and one or both is yours. Gotta find/make a box for them. I can ship them priority or snail mail. Your choice since you are paying. The plastic UGF plates are like the ones in the googled pic below, but without uplift tubes: Click here to show this offer

It's hard to kill moss. You should be fine.

That's better. I can take my ear plugs out now. LOL I enjoy your input. Thank you, my friend.

Creative, my friend. Creative.

LMAO!!!

To be honest, that's why I got them. I use 1 drop per gallon, and this works pretty well. Use a light squeeze and a drop happens. Same size everytime for me. However, if you squeeze hard, you can shoot a stream. LOL I didn't know how hard to squeeze when I first got them for myself. Took one time or so, and I understood. LOL

Good to know. Thank you.

*plays taps*

USPS will not deliver 1st class over 13 oz. Priority mail does that. I know some people will deliver shrimp in a VCR cassette box, but I refuse to do that. I've never tried to get a refund from FedEx or UPS, however I have had people tell me that to get to either one is very inconviant for them if a post notice was left because they were not home. In some cases people have to drive a distance to get their package, whereas a USPS is close by. But again, I've never followed up on the FedEx or UPS late packages.

From my experiences here in Illinois, FedEx and UPS charge more and show up around teh same time as USPS. I've tried all three.

What do you guys think of yolk water for fry food?

How do you gut load brine shrimp?

So woke up this morning and saw the BBS in the tank were dead and the water starting to cloud. Still can't suction up the debris on the bottom because the fry are waaaay to small, so I did a 70% water change. May do a 2nd one later today as well. I hate to do so many water changes, but it looks as if that will have to be my routine until they get large enough I can transfer them over to another tank and vacuum the bottom of this one. Gonna try making some green algae water conditions today so I can add that in the next day or two..

This past winter was the worst experience shipping out that I ever had. USPS changed policies, or laid off staff or something. Although much of my packages arrived to their destinations alive, many arrived dead as well because of delays. When something happens and I have to replace shrimp, I'll do it- but this past winter I made no money at all for maintenance of my current stock. Only since maybe April has USPS picked up the slack again here. I hope this isn't a regular graph for years to come.

Alexandre, I enjoy reading your posts. However when you use so many exclamation marks, it always sounds like you are shouting. heh

I'm sure I'll be trying some more crays sooner or later, so interested in following along with your project.

An airstone can help when stressed.

What's a moss ledge?

That sucks.

Most BBS are dead today anyway...

His can't be beat for the price and he does a great job.

Let nature take its course without intervention. If she lives, she lives. If she dies, she's fish food.

Well so far so good. The fry are still alive, as well as tons of BBS...

I get very bad hair algae because of how long I leave the lights on. I may have to switch to soft whites, but I really really hate those.
