If you want to add co2 then you can fill up a plastic bottle with 3 tablespoons of tablesugar, one packet of bread yeast, and then fill up your bottle 3/4 of the way up. After that you can drill a hole in the cap so you can put a airtube through it, glue it onto the screw cap and put the other side of the tube in your aquarium with a airstone and there you go, DIY co2 system.
For bread yeast co2 generator you absolutely need water filter between switch. small coke bottle 0.5l or 1l in lid 2 holes hose from yeast generator goes to the ground, second hose only briefly through cape. fill the bottle up to 50% with water. the water will filter the co2 and prevent yeast from penetrating the aquarium. cola bottle hold pressure much better than other manufacturers.
Thank you for the video! Great that you take your time and let us tag along to watch it develop over such a long timespan! Appreciate the work and effort you put in!
@@ShrimpMania the leafs of that plant is what makes it a superior plant. I’m glad you pointed out there’s no CO2 needed because my carpet looks fine in my 10 gallon with no CO2
For the algae maybe try, 1. dimming lights 10-20 percent and or less light time. 2. cap off your aqua soil with sand or carpeting plant, it’ll lock in the nutrients and help prevent leaching minerals into your water column 3. Try lowering your temperature, if your at 80, try 79 or 78 I think this would knock it back for sure but knocking it out 100 % is always a challenge
A cap would not work for the under gravel filter. He isn’t even planting anything where the filters are so he should use something inert and porous like eco complete there
Thank you MD! I think I was just lucky with this video and for some reason TH-cam algorithm like it . Congrats on your new studio btw, I absolutely love it!

@@ShrimpMania well deserved, buddy. Been a subscriber for a while now and van honestly say I’ve enjoyed every video i’ve seen from you so far. From back in the bedroom to the build of the new shed… very nice channel
What a cool video showing the life cycle of setting up a new tank. Great photography too. What camera are you using. So clear, and the micro shots are awesome. Great job.
Hey Steve, it's always good to hear some kind words from you. I'm using lumix s5 with kit lence for normal shots and for macro I have Canon 90d with 50mm macro lense. Thanks 😊
It's crazy the amount of algae you grow when you don't plant your tanks from the start, I guess a new tank full of nutriment with no plants is the perfect setup for algae growth.
@@ShrimpMania I wonder if Hornwort or Elodea Densa can handle the exess ammonia for a couple of weeks, they're very struddy, don't need to be planted in soil and grow like crazy, using them at the begining just to suck up nutriments and lessen the algae bloom might work.
its funny how shrimp breeders are either this guy, everything so perfectly done & beautiful or just the guy with a 500 gallon tub and some shrimp pellets 💀
Muy bonito el video !!! Yo cuando uso sustrato nutritivo en un acuario nuevo (sin ciclar) voy haciendo cambios de agua para que no me salgan las algas (diatomeas, Filamentosas, etc etc) aunque me alarge en tiempo de ciclado un 50% mas (7 semanas ). Un saludo
great video as always, and this bright algae is a report on slq bacteria plus Ada amazionia, I also had such a problem once, but the shrimp ate everything in a month
@@ShrimpMania Only tried this kit once and went back to Prism bacteria, the best I've ever had, the whole cycle closes in 4/5 weeks and you don't have to wait that long
Hello sir, I want to make my own shrimp tank of Neocaridina, I'm thinking of Golden Back or Fantasy Blue Velvet, would something like an ADA Aqua Gravel or a UNS Controsand - Monterey as a substrate suffice? I would like to avoid aqua soil if possible, unless necessary. Thank you.
@@ShrimpMania 12:47 The white, the black, and the blue. Are they blue bolts or a variant or mixed? I'm still learning about shrimps and aquascaping. Thank you for replying
Some stuff of note - you cant really clean under gravel filters, ever without tearing the tank down. Also you're pulling water through substrate that has plant food in it so its pushing that into your water which is probably why you have so much algae.
Yea you're right the soil releases a lot of nutrients into the water column, in the beginning, causing algae to grow. I know I can clean UGF but the point of changing it is that the old soil is losing all its juice and need to be replaced.
Just curious on cycle the tank for shrimp. Lets say Currently my tank already have fishes, there are already bioflim inside. I can straight add the shrimps in? On recycle new tank I saw you put aqua soil and bacterial power. Do you need to turn on the light 24 hours for it? Oh just 8 hours per day? To cycle the tank faster.
My light is on a timer for 10 hours a day for all my tanks no matter if it cycled or not. You can add your shrimp as soon as you have no ammonia reading
@@ShrimpMania Currently I using Power head filter for my fish tank, the pump is inside the tank there is one part whereby the water is suck to the filter box on top the fish tank and there is another part is blow out current. I just wonder possible to rear shrimp even build a colony with it? I know the part whereby the water been suck up i need to get a sponge to cover that part. But is that part whereby the pump blow a current inside the tank. Does it will hurt the shrimp due to it? I hope you understand what i mean here which pump I using thanks.
Amazing Video 😍 Its so interesting to see how your Tanks cycle and how the algae's grow! I have some probs that my Javamoss and the Flamemoss turns yellow 😥 so ill try a shrimpfriendly fertilizer. Still havent got any Shrimps yet but ill want to setup the Tank new with some Akadama Soil. And the Babys are soo soo cute 😍Love your Videos
Cheers buddy! I think some fertiliser might help. I always had that issues when I used akadama - hair algae on moss and yellowing. Akadama contend very little fertilisers this is why it happens
@@ShrimpMania im struggle if i can put some shrimps in my 25L Tank. My waterparameters no NH4, Nitrit is about 0,025 mg/l but i dont have any Nitrat. Have only changed the Soil and the Tank is running, only with Plants in it, since mid last year. The yellow Javamoss starts a little bit of growing and the shrimpfriendly fertilizier has no Nitrat in it. What do you think? Can i add some Shrimps?
@@ShrimpMania oh thank you! The guy I was going to buy shrimp from told me all shrimp breed with their same species (Caridina with Caridina, Neocaridina with Neocardina) no matter the colour and that all the baby's would turn brown (because I wanted multiple colours) so this is great news!
Nice another idea setup, love it, correct me if im wrong but is this the right measurement of the tank 37cm L x40cm W x33cm H? Or did i messed up the L and W?
It normally takes a few weeks for the shrimp to consume that algae and sometimes they don't want to eat all of it and some bits of algae will be in the tank for ages so I prefer to remove it, doesn't take too much time
amazing video! you should also be called plant mania also, great looking and great growth on the plants. Any ideas besides using a ugf box for the ugf filter? I don't really want to silicoln a partition into my tanks. I was cycling a new tank and got some blue green algae appearing on 2 tanks. same method as i used before, any ideas, only difference was i used bacteria powder. I'll have to do what you do and siphon them out. I love sl aqua's magic powder, been using the aqualex version, enzyme powder, i think it's doing something or maybe a plecebo effect. great video as always and can't wait till the next one!
@@RWAquariumPages Hi Ray. The blue/green algae can be cyanobacteria. It can be trated with blackouts for a few days. Fo ugf you can either do it with partition, box or full tank size i don't think its another option. I'm using rode wifi mic for shots with myself and rode shotgun when I talk behind the camera. This one is very clear because I talk few inches away and it has some fluff on it.
另外在日本有一个配件，是成套的一款底滤盒，名字没记错的话应该是Choice F. cube 是一套成熟的过滤套装。可以承载1L的土壤量，也可以反复清洗使用，我所有的30×50×35的小tank都在使用它。铺设200-300ml的吸附性土壤，其余的全部用营养性土壤就可以，小的tank用一套底滤盒加一个双头水妖精，不管是繁殖还是日后的重新设缸，都非常方便。
WOW! Looks like I found my favorite channel on TH-cam :) I watched bunch of your videos today and can't stop lol. Thank you very much for your hard work and inspiration! What species of caridina shrimp would you recommend for someone who never had them before? I'm going to use amazonia light, ro water and gh+. Also what size of a tank should I choose? I'm thinking about 20-30 gallons to keep water more stable and to allow bigger colony with less maintenance. I have neocardina shrimps in 10g aquariums and I could only get 100-300 shrimps from each tank with dayly feeding and 10% water change to keep water clean. Too much work... now I'm switching to 30-40 gallons for neocardina to give them more room. Should I get bigger tank for caridina shrimps as well?
Thank you for kind words. I would start with crystal reds or blacks they quite easy shrimp and looking good too. For the tank size the bigger the better. More stable water parameters and you can fit more shrimp inside.
Could u tell me what the name of the carpet plants are that you are talking from 6:30 to 7:00? I realy think thay are beautyfull and I want them in my aquarium aswell
Thanks man. Sometimes I clean them with silicone tubing by simply sucking the dirty from the bottom but in most cases they don't need a cleaning at all. Depends on the tank
Hey Arctic, thanks for coming back. I sacrifice sponge filters to have an extra tube for ugf so I can fit more soil in them. This way the tanks should last longer with better minerals exchange. The downside that the water might not be crystal clear due to lack of polishing but so far so good.
I after watching your video I wanted to get the colored shrimp..but the ones at pet store are only a few centimeters.the woman at the pet store says they don't grow any bigger.but clearly yours are bigger.what breed of shrimp should I be looking for? I bought ghost shrimp and they appear to be the same size as what you have.
@@ShrimpMania I'm having Mosura Pure Red Line in my tank now. From time to time, I have thoughts of having something else in the tank, but eventually didn't.
What did you put on the back glass pane? I’m new to tanks and just set up my first legitimate one, and I’m concerned my betta keeps running into the glass. Please help!
The glass panel is there to create an undergravel filtration to lower ph with the soil to make water ideal for caridina shrimp. I have also limited experience with the bettas mate
Good day! Sir, may I ask you one question I set up new tank and cycle around 2 month but ammonia still level 1 how to do ? I use ADA soil + Benebachi soil around 1 liter half for my tank 30 liter water. Thank you

How many grams should a packet of yeast be? Thanks
@@VISShrimpPassion That would be 7 grams.
For bread yeast co2 generator you absolutely need water filter between switch. small coke bottle 0.5l or 1l in lid 2 holes hose from yeast generator goes to the ground, second hose only briefly through cape. fill the bottle up to 50% with water. the water will filter the co2 and prevent yeast from penetrating the aquarium. cola bottle hold pressure much better than other manufacturers.
Just be careful though. I tried it before and it killed my precious fishes, just put some timer or something to check the co2 level in the aquarium.

How about no light, cap with normal gravel, and water changes. Wouldnt that help with no algae growth?
A cap would not work for the under gravel filter. He isn’t even planting anything where the filters are so he should use something inert and porous like eco complete there

I bought ghost shrimp and they appear to be the same size as what you have.
You can start with neocaridina they are around 1 inch same as ghost shrimp
Can i ask, you keep the different types of Caridina together, they will cross breed right? What patterns are the off springs?
Depends on what Caridina you breeding together.
If they both shadow (high-end) they will make the same offspring with mixed patterns
@@ShrimpMania I'm having Mosura Pure Red Line in my tank now. From time to time, I have thoughts of having something else in the tank, but eventually didn't.
@@wrxsti22b Any type of shadow shrimp would work just fine
You might have already answered this but, what are the lights that you use? I love your channel!
Thank you! This rack I built with a simple strip lights. More details about the lights in the video on How I built it (part2)

how many days to change the water every period? Thankyou Sir...
Every 2-3 weeks during the cycle
竟然是台灣製的undergravel fliter 感謝 XD
What did you put on the back glass pane? I’m new to tanks and just set up my first legitimate one, and I’m concerned my betta keeps running into the glass. Please help!
The glass panel is there to create an undergravel filtration to lower ph with the soil to make water ideal for caridina shrimp. I have also limited experience with the bettas mate
Can a setup like this also good for guppies?
Sure why not
Thank you for great videos! Do you use any liquid boosters for bacterial growth, seachem stability type, etc. to speed up the cycling of the tank?
Good day! Sir, may I ask you one question I set up new tank and cycle around 2 month but ammonia still level 1 how to do ? I use ADA soil + Benebachi soil around 1 liter half for my tank 30 liter water. Thank you
Hey it can take up to 11 weeks for ada amazonia to stop leaching ammonia
@@ShrimpMania it mean around 3 month ?
@@sengpiseth2511 yes
