Soothing Shrimp Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 This is an interesting gadget if you have money to burn. SS would have to be placed over the holes for shrimp. http://www.reefgently.com/ Seems to me basically you could do the same thing by using an air valve and hanging one small dollar store bucket above another and doing the same thing .

OMG Aquatics Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 That's a pretty expensive gadget. For me, I just use 1 quart plastic containers. Drill a hole near the top but not big enough to allow shrimp to pass. Just enough for water to flow through. Cut a rigid airline tubing the height of the container. Attach drip acclimation kit onto rigid airline tubing. Add shrimps and water into container. Place the 1 quart plastic container into a wide plastic container. Start siphon! This way I am able to drip acclimation all my shrimp packages in a timely manner and not have to worry about overflow for each container. New tank water goes into the container from the bottom and old water slowly exits at the top. EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubapache Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 They make it so complicated so people can "burn money". lOL And the suction cups will fail and there goes the expensive fish. They should design it with some kind of hanger system svetilda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Its cool but I dont trust suction cups. My luck I would walk away for a few minutes and it falls off the tank PlantDude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 that is such a complicated process. someone had too much time on their hands to create this. if anyone gets one make sure you let us know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellcat6203 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I posted about that on the Facebook page, I'm really considering getting one because I think it will acclimate the shrimp better because you will have them at a prefect match to the water there going in not off by a little bit because this thing seems to replace all the water in the container to the water of your tank, when you do the drip method your just adding your water to the transported water and i can see that raising TDS, kh and gh from the water they are going into. I think it could help with getting shrimp to higher PH then they are used to so we can get them in a better area that more people can enjoy them.

Shrimp Life Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've never had an issue using the good ol' fashioned drip method, I either use a bucket and airline tubing tied in a knot or I use a marina breeder box, i adjust the flow to a drip a second , depending on what I'm acclimating. jem_xxiii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very cool idea! Can't believe how expensive they made it though. Acrylic will get you! Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
