Gimmito's 450 Gal L-Shaped Display

[gimmito]

Thanks for the kind words Phil. I'm sad to say the pepermint shrimp experiment did not work. I added a few of them, but I believe they eventually took each other out once they molted. That was the case were I added 6 fire shrimp and 10 cleaner shrimp in the main display only to end up up with a pair of each. I think its best to add copepods and mysid shrimp to feed the main display naturally.

Also, the pairs of shrimp I do have breed regularly, as well as some of my fish (cardinals). This all becomes food for the fish. :)

Thank you for the good info. I have been thinking of adding as many different types of pods as I can to the fuge for diversity and higher chances for success. Does your fuge gravity feed back into the system or is it pumped?

Will work on it Brett. I hope your back is feeling better.

Sure thing. I have a 40 breeder sump that sits on a ledge above the tank and gravity feeds back into the tank.

Thanks Jim, it's getting there. I've been off work for two days, I'm gonna go back tomorrow and see how it goes.

I feel for you. I threw out my back once changing a diaper. :squigglemouth:

That's just not fair, LOL. I'm a construction worker and I threw mine out playing with the kids, what's the odds.

Kids...the gift that keeps on giving. ;)
