MK-Breed Z for tank setup

IMG_4664_zps6c4897ea.jpg 

MK is a close friend of mine, he has inspired me a lot on my shrimp keeping hobby. He gave me some pre-production sample for his line of products to try out. This one in particular is for tank set up. I'm using it on a few of the new tanks I'm setting up to gain some experience.

I've been using his line of shrimp food for a few months now, I'll write more about it but I have to say I'm very impressed so far.



The following in the main show tank in the shrimp room (location-wise, not so much to show yet, as I won't do much

1. Spread some on the bottom
2. add some substrate (ADA Amazonia)
3. spread some more,
4.  add some more substrate
5 . Done


 Tank is cycling, I'll update this blog with more update, and compare the tanks with this products and without.

 

So it has been a while, what am I up to?

So it's been a while since I updated this blog. My shrimps are doing well, just always been busy (pronounced: lazy).

A small update is I've been working on the new shrimp room in my house. Thanks to my wife who has been so supportive to this hobby of mine. She propose to clean up a 8'x12' room in the basement so I can have most of the tanks in one spot.

I'm using 2x4 racks in this room mainly, and here are the rack build in progress.

And the room with 2 x 15amp dedicated breakers plus the existing wiring. I have almost 3 x 15 amp to place with (that's like 4500w ;-).

It doesn't take long to have the racks built,

Another Dream Blue... I like the marking on this one.


Dream Blue is berried, 3 weeks after in the tank. This shrimp is still pretty small (<1.5cm) and only about 15 eggs.
