Marks Shrimp Tanks Haha you is a great man! Loved your Baywatch Commercial also i grew up watching the show, has nice big breast on the footage lol. Take care
Hello Mark I feel like an idiot now I looked in my tank 1 hour ago and saw that another one of my female CRS had just shed its skin and I put some food out so the shrimp will be more active to try and get the to find her to breed with her and I just looked and she has lots of little brown eggs under her tail!! Should have babies in a month YaY
Do you prefer round shrimp net to the triangle one? I have a green jade neo tank, i only had ghost shrimp before and that was to keep the water clean of a paludarium. videos are great Thx for your time and all the info
Excellent:-) You've inspired me to try growing an Indian Almond inside, i have a tree outside nearby that the Black cockatos raid for the seeds, but sometimes they miss one in their pruning efforts.:-)
Hello Mark,I've had my CRS colony now for 9 days they haven't bred so is some thing wrong or do I just have to wait longer I have 4 adult female CRS and 2 adult male CRS 2 of the females molted but none were berried so if you can help me outThanks and when do we find out who won the competition
You have to have patience my friend .From the time they are born to the time they can have babies is roughly 2 months...then after this every 4-5 weeks they can be berried again .
Hi I really enjoy your videos. Where did you get those clear plastic support brackets that hang on the side of the tank? They look really handy. Thanks
Hey mark, what tanks do you buy? i cant seem to find nice rimless tanks like yours that arnt a million dollars. Love all your tanks and you have inspired me to do the same as i have been for the last 2 years !!
Looking forward to the new camera :D I need to swap my soil out of my rack and replace it with ADA, lost about a few thousand $$ worth of shrimp recently to a bacteria/disease ;-; By the way, thanks for the likes on my Instagram, ill hit ya back. :P
I feel you on the loses ,I badly need to redo my middle tank but I just dont have anywhere to put the Shrimp ,lack of space, tanks,funds ect ..But i shall survive :D
thanks for the video, it was very entertaining to see how you acclimate your shrimp, and hear about your insta skills ;-) you have learned me something new today, I'll check if it's possible to buy a bannana and indian almond tree. the tanks and shrimp are looking great (as always) I look forward to your new video.

Hey Mark, I want to do a planted shrimp tank and iam going to use Ada Amazonia as well, which type is better for planted tanks the powder or the bigger ones?
I dont think I have it in a tank at the moment,I actually removed a little K1 filter from that tank because it was slowing down flow to much ..if I can work it into another filter I will though :)
Hello Jessica !!! long time to see how are you doing ? I used to have a hydor canister and a ehiem canister when I made this video. I actually prefer just multiple sponges over everything now ..I have multiple sponge syndrome !!
I've been pretty good just hiding at home checking out the stock market with all this time off lol I hear ya on the sponges ... they are great 👍 Only reason I am asking about the spray bars is that I might pick up a looong 12g tank thats about 36 inches but short and not very wide front to back either.... think the best way to keep from having dead zones would be a nice long spray bar across the whole top :) You were the first I thought of that has had spray bars running for quite some time:D Thanks for they reply! Stay healthy and enjoy your day! :)
Hi ,can you give me some advice please.I'm planning to setup a 10gallon CRS tank, I'm using bottle distilled water,I have salty shrimp kh gh + and seachem prime . My tap ph is around 7.2/7.6 .tds 100-110 . Can you tell me how much distilled water should I mix with the tap water? How much salty gh kh should I add in the water ? What tds is right? Thank you so much.
Hi Paul ,You should try this take 2 gallons of tap water and add it into a large bucket ..add 0.2ml of prime and give it a good stir ..leave for a day or two and mix the water every so often. leave the bucket next to your tank if its possible when you do this. Remove 2 gallons of water from your tank and clean your filters ect in that same water ..then slowly add your new water back to the tank. Your tapwater ph tds ect looks like its good enough for Crystals ..just remember to use the correct dosage of Prime ok :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Hi mark Thanks for your reply,this's what I'm going to do. If I'm wrong please correct me,thanks again. 1st I'm going to use bottle distilled water (because I can't buy RO machine) can I used distilled water? 2nd I will add salty shrimp gh kh + add to the distilled water and raised the tds to 100-120 3rd I have add fluval stratum plants and cycles for month then make a large water change before add shrimp. Did I miss out anything? Thanks a million! Paul
Truong Nguyen I think the Subwassertang just like low light and clean water,29 Gallons is roughly120 Liters right ?My middle tank is 190 liters and the lights over it are 2 x36 watt T8s:)
Excellent ,If I was in Dundee right now I would be sitting next to the Tay bait fishing for Seatrout ..little things like that I miss about Scotland :)
Thanks for reply:) and I like things keep simple, so after study from your videos I will build one with only sponge filter. How often do you recommend to wash it?

Do you prefer round shrimp net to the triangle one? I have a green jade neo tank, i only had ghost shrimp before and that was to keep the water clean of a paludarium. videos are great Thx for your time and all the info
Yeah I like the round one better :)
Yes u can use banana leaf in steam cooking wrap in rice it will smell nice same with lily pads
Excellent ,,I have learned that you can use nepenthe's jugs for rice as well :D
Loved hanging out in your shrimp room and checking out your plants too.:-)
Thank You Katherine ,I was hoping people would like to see more of the plants.
Excellent:-) You've inspired me to try growing an Indian Almond inside, i have a tree outside nearby that the Black cockatos raid for the seeds, but sometimes they miss one in their pruning efforts.:-)
Ive also put about 10 pothos cuttings in my tanks and vases..
Hello Mark,I've had my CRS colony now for 9 days they haven't bred so is some thing wrong or do I just have to wait longer I have 4 adult female CRS and 2 adult male CRS 2 of the females molted but none were berried so if you can help me outThanks and when do we find out who won the competition
You have to have patience my friend .From the time they are born to the time they can have babies is roughly 2 months...then after this every 4-5 weeks they can be berried again .
The winner of the competition is answered when I make a new monthly update video ..which is normally the start of the month.
Wow really cool with Indian almond tree. Do you dry some leaves and put them in your tanks?
Blue bolts are stunning.
yeah I just use them and dry them as the fall of the tree :)
Hi mark Terence here. I have set up my tank it's Been aweek but the algae isn't really growing. Any tips?
Hi
I really enjoy your videos.
Where did you get those clear plastic support brackets that hang on the side of the tank? They look really handy.
Thanks
Ebay years ago ,if I find the link I will post it :)
Hi Marks, nice video as always. How do you make these riccia moss bushed?
See here th-cam.com/video/aJueVH8Fhqc/w-d-xo.html&lc=z121j1hpjrqtvp4pj04chtoh4rjtfv2zw1o
What’s the name of those bush plants in your tanks?
Subwasssertang my friend :)
The nepenthes plant looks like alata or ventrata (ventricosa x alata). It looks very healthy!
it loves it in there ,not to much light but its warm and humid.
Hey mark, what tanks do you buy? i cant seem to find nice rimless tanks like yours that arnt a million dollars. Love all your tanks and you have inspired me to do the same as i have been for the last 2 years !!
Most stuff I buy is second hand the rest are from online stores ether fomr Norway or Germany .
Oh okay, that's probable why it's cheaper. But do you know what brand the tanks are or where I can get cheap rimless tanks for shrimp setups ?
Looking forward to the new camera :D
I need to swap my soil out of my rack and replace it with ADA, lost about a few thousand $$ worth of shrimp recently to a bacteria/disease ;-;
By the way, thanks for the likes on my Instagram, ill hit ya back. :P

Hello Sybrand Scheveers, thanks for subscribing!
Hey Mark, I want to do a planted shrimp tank and iam going to use Ada Amazonia as well, which type is better for planted tanks the powder or the bigger ones?
I think It just depends what you want the substrate to look like ,The normal type fills alot more space because its bigger. :)
Hi Mark. Can you please do a video on how to clean a tank that also has small shrimp in it. Thanks
The only thing I clean is the glass and do waterchanges ...dont worry about poop in the gravel ect ,doesnt matter in a Shrimp tank :)
Only just started watching your videos as I’m new to shrimp keeping. They are very helpful thanks for posting. Where did you get the shrimp net ?
Hello thank you for subscribing, that net was from the ebi shrimp shop in Sweden.
I noticed a k1 media filter in one of your tank , how about a video using k1 media for filtration?
Thanks
I dont think I have it in a tank at the moment,I actually removed a little K1 filter from that tank because it was slowing down flow to much ..if I can work it into another filter I will though :)
Saying that it is in the top tank lol ..
what kind of moss are you using in your tanks? it looks awesome 😃
The big green balls you see are called subwassertang ..I only have one type of moss and its called weeping moss.
Hey Mark 👋 Jessica from the old Canadian Shrimp breeders group. Just curious what you have got running your spray bars?
Hello Jessica !!! long time to see how are you doing ? I used to have a hydor canister and a ehiem canister when I made this video. I actually prefer just multiple sponges over everything now ..I have multiple sponge syndrome !!
I've been pretty good just hiding at home checking out the stock market with all this time off lol I hear ya on the sponges ... they are great 👍
Only reason I am asking about the spray bars is that I might pick up a looong 12g tank thats about 36 inches but short and not very wide front to back either.... think the best way to keep from having dead zones would be a nice long spray bar across the whole top :) You were the first I thought of that has had spray bars running for quite some time:D

Marks Shrimp Tanks Hi mark
Thanks for your reply,this's what I'm going to do. If I'm wrong please correct me,thanks again.
1st I'm going to use bottle distilled water (because I can't buy RO machine) can I used distilled water?
2nd I will add salty shrimp gh kh + add to the distilled water and raised the tds to 100-120
3rd I have add fluval stratum plants and cycles for month then make a large water change before add shrimp.
Did I miss out anything?
Thanks a million!
Paul
No sound like you have a plan ,It would be in your interest to change water every week though in the beginning until its cycled .
0:26 Hilter's face on the plant . Nice setup though!
Wow how weird is that !!,that plant has since died and one of its babies has taken over .
Aha totally see that 🤣 how did you even spot that lmao
What's that plant in the tank you're moving the blue bolts to?
The one dead center was Subwassertang ,the one on the far right was Hygrophila Sunset
are the lights for all your tank moderate or high?
I would say my tanks are low light :)
What lights would you recommend for a 29 gallon tank? And how did you get your subwassertang to grow to such proportions?
Truong Nguyen I think the Subwassertang just like low light and clean water,29 Gallons is roughly120 Liters right ?My middle tank is 190 liters and the lights over it are 2 x36 watt T8s:)
anotehr great video and now you have another sub from another dundonian :)
Excellent ,If I was in Dundee right now I would be sitting next to the Tay bait fishing for Seatrout ..little things like that I miss about Scotland :)
:D
nice :D
Much appreciated :)
People say air filter only is not enough. I think it is enough for keeping a shrimp tank. How do you think?
I think sponge filters are great but they need to be cleaned more than what people do.
Thanks for reply:) and I like things keep simple, so after study from your videos I will build one with only sponge filter. How often do you recommend to wash it?
Hi sir if i have tank 40x40 what watt for light is fit ??
I have lights as low as 10 watts on a tank that size in my shrimp room
How do you get the algae to grow on the sides
Light and nutrients , BacterAE is very good for this.
And magic im assuming
U go for Celtic?
Yes Sir ,who do you follow Remy ?
Marks Shrimp Tanks Rangers
Remy Cho That cant be possible Remy Rangers died in 2012 :D
10:40 what is moss id, thanks :)
That is subwassertang :)
what are those big balls of moss called?
Subwassertang my friend :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Thanks!
cut the dying leaves off the plants then all the energy will go to the good leaves
Good idea, I will start up the time machine right now 😜
Hi Mark! Fantastic!! Your shrimps are so beautiful )) Could you explain me what is a Glass flask with liquid in your aquariums? Here is a foto of your aquarium prodambus.ru/images/whats-this.jpg What is it for?
Its a SÖCHTING Oxydator
It cleans and oxydates the water through a oxygen reaction ..I have made a video of about it and what it does for next week :)
thank you Mark! I'll wait for your video ))
How big of a tank should your first shrimp tank be?
as big as you can afford , now I wouldnt buy anything lower than a 10 gallon tank
