Brightwell FlorinVolcanit Rio Escuro-F shrimp substrate
mayphly replied to JamesHe's topic in Substrates and Water Chemistry
I set up a 10g with brightwell xf and have to say the water is soooo much clearer than ada. I just hope the buffering holds up for a long time. -

I sent the company an email last Friday asking them what brand the engine is and where in my area is the nearest service center in case something goes wrong. -

HMF Pump Question
mayphly replied to christinenha's topic in Filtration, lighting and other equipment
Yes it is. The bigger the air pump the more flow you'll have. Just connect the tubing from the pump to the uplift tube. There are some good youtube vids on hmf's.- 22 replies

I would if I could. I just set up 4 new tanks and just don't have the room. So, hopefully some one here can take advantage of this deal![emoji12]

Just thought someone might be interested in this. It's a pretty good deal to pass up. Wish I had the room! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/for/4793739862.html

They state that "it's a Honda based engine design." There's a product video in the link I posted. -

Smarter Tools appears to have their headquarters here in the USA. However, I thnk they outsource the engines to china. (Probably impossible to get parts) Lol!! Their engine is a 4 stroke 13HP 389cc. The equivalent Honda generator costs 4K. -
I like them, However, I'm not sure if they do much. I like what Soothing said "microbubbles vs bubbles". Someone pointed out that due to the increase of O2 in the water column the unit could be detrimental to a shrimps health if you were to tranfer shrimp from a tank using an oxydator to a tank that doesn't use an oxydator. On the other hand if your acclimating shrimp properly I don't see this as a big deal.

After looking into it a bit more We have decided to go with this one http://www.costco.com/Smarter-Tools-7500W-Running--9500W-Peak-Portable-Generator-EPACARB.product.100053877.html which is also from Costco. You can't beat the price! The Generac I was originaly looking at is not carb compliant with California. This will be my first project after the new year! If you want to get fancy you can even start your generator from your phone now. Lol!!! -
That's a Söchting Oxydator. It feeds micro oxygen bubbles into the water column.

Hey, Good to know there's a shrimper shrimping in Greece! What's the shrimp scene like over there?

Do shrimp prefer certain remineralizers?
mayphly replied to slycat929's topic in Substrates and Water Chemistry
Wow! I've been using mmp since the beginning. I've had huge success in shrimp breeding while using it. Recently I have been thiking about switching to MK blue diamond as well. It's a better bang for your buck! Now you got me thinking. What dicobee says totaly makes sense. -
Shrimp for a wall mounted 12 gallon room temp tank?
mayphly replied to AquaticEngineer's topic in General Discussion
Wow! Very cool tank! Is it recessed into the wall or does it sit on a ledge? -
This has got to be the best shrimp forum in the USA! Congratulations Shrimpspot!

IMO, It's a good idea to set the breeder box up asap prior to putting shrimp in there. This gives a chance for bio film to grow in the box that the babies will feed on. Your baby survival rate will be in greater numbers. I had a mama shrimp give birth in a new breeder box with some moss and a piece of well seasoned cholla wood and I lost quite a few babies. After the breeder box was left set up for about a month or so I had some nice film growing on it. Ever since then I've had 99-100 percent baby survival rate. I also add an airstone (insurance).
-
Glad to hear the little critters made it ok! Your tank looks cool! I think they'll be happy in there.
