Let's hit 1,000 likes so I can do an update on this tank next week as well :) The two products that we owe all the success to is definitely Bee Shrimp Mineral GH+ and Brightwell Shrimp Soil. Check them out here: flipaquatics.com/collections/substrate?ccart=1 flipaquatics.com/collections/water-additives?ccart=1
You are the man dude. I still love watching your videos and seeing you and your companies progression. Thanks for taking that leap and starting your own thing.
Reverse osmosis water drops down to 6.0 ph with Bee shrimp gh without using buffering substrate. Isnt that too low for crystal red shrimp? Should i use Salty shrimp gh kh? Another questions is, why is my ph under 6 with this product? Shouldnt it be 6.4?
@@mattt.8097 I am removing my lava rock because I recall I never have any success in any tank with them. I used to breed CRS like mad without any care, but now the shrimplets just keep disappearing until there is no more left. The adult is fine. I suspect they are leaking some chemical that won't show up in water tester.
@@bigfoxki Most pumice is inert. It's possible you might have Tufa which is limestone. To test if the rock is the problem there are some tests that can be done.
@@bigfoxki I have about 10 pounds of lava rock in my tank with fissidens growing from some it. My colony is somewhere between 150-200 without sighted deaths.
@@mattt.8097 Mine is black, and they have many shiny area. They are from a Japanese company "Powerhouse", they look completely different from the lava rock I bought in US. Their textures do reassemble the tufa, but they are black. One weird thing is moss only grow on one of them, and my shrimps rarely picking the rock. I am not trying to make reason/excuse for my thought, but even the Yamaya stone got more moss than those lava rock. I will keep updating.
Can you advise how to get rid of scuds?? I have neo's and the population is decreasing. Please help! Thank you ever so much. All parameters are correct including kh and gh..
Yes I like these kind of shrimp information.. it’s great to hear about this ... what about red cherry or bloody Mary’s or even fire red grade shrimp.. those would be great .. only one cherry shrimp is alive out of the 10 I got from flip aquatic so maybe education would be very appreciated..so maybe when I get ready to order my Bloody Mary shrimp will know know more ... thanks
Hi rob what do you do about plant fertiliser I dose daily ferts but find my tds creeps up over the week from 120 to about 250 I keep tibees they seem to be fine but no reproduction yet. It’s a 40l mountain scape with only dragon stone lots of moss and a hc carpet. By the way your tank looks great
I have heavily planted gorgeous 75 gallon aq Fluval subs the tanks is been running for 6 months ph is 6.4 my neo’s Are breeding like crazy but I had about 12 Crystals every 2 weeks I find a dead one and they did not breed essentially slowly dying. What am I doing wrong
Anybody know how to test kh with 0 reading? With api you have to do 1 drop in order to read at least 1 degree. Will using 10ml of test water instead of 5ml work?
iv all ways used rock from my local creek never had a issue....i dont like the look of D stone ..even my substrieght comes from the creek ( i boiled the crap out of it of course ) if your drift wood is making your tank smell its not the driftwood its your filter system N3il
I want to like this tank, but I fell into my 150 gallon fat boy trying to scape it and it still looks like poop...this just makes me mad my tanks never look this good
some advise. don't film your face. don't film your face that closely. don't use your face as the intro. just saying killed it... nobody wants to see your face dude. lol

Watch your transitions. The one around 6:00 and others were weird. Thanks for the informative vid.
This Tank is phänomenal Beautiful.. really nice .
where we buy those algae sticks again?
How about lava rock? Any info for lava rock too?
Inert, porous, cheap, and looks great. I feed Bacter AE and I notice my colony love the lava rocks I have in my tank.

Great, informative video! Thanks Rob :-)
Which plant fertilizer do you recommend with TBs?
Is there a plant list for this tank somewhere?
Any freshwater shrimp can you tab water after cycling, pH 7.6 and hardwater
Great video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
With that tank what will you do when the soil runs out and is no longer active?
Rescape it :( or add soil to the sump. Just depends on if we have room for it in the studio.
Beautiful aquarium!

Just keep making videos! You make me so excited to try shrimp im just scared of the investment here in Az even low grade cherries are 3-4$ a pop
I sell high grade cherry shrimp juveniles for 2 dollars each. Lmk if you're interested.
Lovely tank! What's the type of moss at 13:00?
Could be pearl moss or christmas moss.

1 is basically 0 as the substrate and bacteria in the tank with remove the sole oh
Wow, that moss looks super fine. What kind is it and how much did it took it to grow like that ? PS: I did hit like :D
...rain water?
It's not a secret any more Rob LoL good video keep it up
Im not a fan of Driftwood.....I find after time it was making my water smell so switched out to rock
You tank really looks like a pro scaped it.
Man theres soo much moss. Itd suck to trim that lol
More vids of the new facility
So you're saying I shouldn't consistently run my BB tank at 150-180TDS
I’m tryna start breeding shrimp to sell what’s the best kind to start with
Cherry shrimp
Cherry shrimp
Is there a lot of demand for those? I was thinking blue dream also?
@@RanchKings if your starting to keep shrimp do cherry shrimp Don t try the blues
So how big of a colony do I need and will I make my money back?

I mostly watch the 480g videos from Flip.
I have no idea how to spell any of those plant varieties for my google search...
Moore videos. 🤗
There are worms in the substrate at 8:06
I looked and didn't see anything out of the norm.
looks more like a leech
I’m just here to admire your 480 gal
I want to like this tank, but I fell into my 150 gallon fat boy trying to scape it and it still looks like poop...this just makes me mad my tanks never look this good
fuckin dad took away all my magazines about plants..
if you want more likes & subs u gotta actually make a variety of uploads/videos related to fish and shrimp..
😎👍🇦🇺
👋🏼
the larger the tank the wider the parameters of nothing going wrong..smaller tanks: more issues!
That’s the minimum tank size for a betta everyone...
Is it me or is this white boy off the perico 🦜
advice lol whoops
More 480🙂
I scrub my wood almost every day...
I feel like ur always leaning ur face into the camera.
So disappointed that there's no fish in that tank!
Less of your face more shrimp.
That’s not 480 g liar
some advise. don't film your face. don't film your face that closely. don't use your face as the intro. just saying killed it... nobody wants to see your face dude. lol
Mr. Wells all this “advise” and you criticize him.. for using his face to talk to his viewers. You are a dolt.
