Baby Shrimp Safe: Making a Auto Shutoff Drip Acclimator Thingy- Flood Free

[@ShrimpMania]

Great tutorial Mark. Noticed that water in some of your tanks turned green, possibly from Dead shrimp powder. It happened to me as well, but normally in a new setups and I know it's a bit annoying. The water first turns cloudy then in a few days gets green. I fixed it by adding a filter with UV light. I even bought two of them just cheap internal ones from Amazon. It will clear the water from green in a few days but then it will be still clowdy and if you run the filter for another week or two it will clear it completely. If you remove the filter earlier it might gets green again. If you leave them like that it might go away by itself but it can take months. Normally once it is cleaned it shouldn't happen again unless you overdose DSP. I spoke with Tai Cheng about that he said yes it can happen in the beginning he suggested to reduce dosage of powder, reduce amount of light, reducing feeding and do a large water changes then it should go away. You can try this instead of UV filter but I prefer UV it works all the time and don't need to change a lot of water. Good to see your new video btw. Keep it up!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

yeah its happened in a few tanks, I just let it run its course and it clears itself eventually, dead shrimp powder is great by the way thank you for putting me on to it. 👍

[@ShrimpMania]

@@MarksShrimpTanks You are welcome I'm glad it works great. I just posted something for you today. You should like it😊

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

oh !!!!

[@kazBrown4350]

Thanks so much shrimp mania for stocking DSP my breeding and survival rate has doubled! 😊

[@ShrimpMania]

​@@kazBrown4350 Glad you liked it mate! I'm only doing that because it really works for me so I want you guys to have the same good result as I have. Glad I managed to put Mark on it. 😊

[@richardportelli1983]

basically the same as a water change system, great work Mark.

[@douggiles7647]

I just clamp the inlet side an inch or 2 below the water level, that way even if I totally forget it either won't be enough to overflow or at the cery least will stop before much hits the floor but that hasn't happened yet thankfully. And it's way cheaper and easier than sourcing and setting up a float-valve.

[@focusjeje]

i use a plastic cup (500ml) with a needle hole on the bottom, i let it float and the water will go in really slowly (like drip acclimatation), so no problem if you forgot ;)

[@SgathaichFey]

This is so genius!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

I dont know about genius but i am definitly sick of forgetting stuff 😂

Good to see you again Squire 🙏💚🦐

Thank yuou my Lord!

Easy way of drip acclimation. 😊 Wow your tanks look great 😃 please show ....

[@FNDwheels]

That is so very helpful Mark😮❤ I really enjoy this kind of content from you 😊

[@Wetorp]

Just set a timer 😂

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

I forget everthing lol I wouldnt even hear it. I kid you not I dont even know my own ringtone. 😂

[@BTQ410]

Great solution. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

No problem 👍

[@Toitamtoo]

A bit off topic - just wanted to ask a question under newest video. Have You tried to crossbreed Black Boas with Red Boas ? Can we expect new colour variations?

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Ihave not had boas but to answer your question Black in the dominate gene in shrimp keeping so you will always get more black and occasionally the odd red.

" it's always good to have more than one " !! That's true for many things , but it's not that easy to fill your shoe's , and no matter how many people have tried I'm sure they too realized that they were not even capable and they have missed you too ! KZbin is a great place to get the help with many, almost every time I have a to do or no clue " What Would Mark Do" .???????????????? I'm going to guess that you have more subs that found your channel when they were having a Shrimp Shituation and we've all been there before, temporarily handicapped from not being able to find the answer to whatever it may be. I'm guilty of committing more than a few things that I have been doing something with water and just got distracted with something else and it really is not going to be always solved by a smartass setting a timer . No the truth is that we are all capable of the best results from the beginning to the end but realistically I know everyone has been stuck on stupid and then the only thing that makes sense is that we can look for the ways to avoid it from happening again, and I just wanted to say thank you Mark for always sharing the best advice and hopefully you are doing great in your new home and most importantly you have achieved the BALANCE of all the things that are going on inside and out ☯️

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Thank you mate for the awesome comment, I am very forgetful so stuff like even timers I forget, It would go off and I would be doing something and I would forget again. 😂

[@grammiescorner8330]

I cannot find your list of items to buy to make your drip float system. I really enjoy your videos Mark. God Bless!!!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Float valves are on ali express

[@lesliefoster9027]

Well that's my next little project.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Yes they are worth having.

[@ColdStoneRacing]

That looks great! Where did you get the float and valve? The single link in the description doesn't work.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Ive fixed it, the link is huge normally thats why I shrunck it down, here is the link www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004269515005.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller.2.1b05tWTOtWTOPF&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.354490.0&scm_id=1007.40050.354490.0&scm-url=1007.40050.354490.0&pvid=ff847a31-c09d-49ff-8f23-a91d9261dce1&_t=gps-id:pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.354490.0,pvid:ff847a31-c09d-49ff-8f23-a91d9261dce1,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238108%231977&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21NOK%2141.48%2141.48%21%21%2127.88%2127.88%21%402103252b17123931664363196ee7a3%2112000028579756718%21rec%21NO%212421247710%21&utparam-url=scene%3ApcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller%7Cquery_from%3A

Welcome back!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Thank you Rad

[@alexandergraham7117]

Couldn't you just set the air stone inlet at a certain depth in the tank (guessing volume in gallons % based on the size of your tank) so the siphon would stop when the tank got lower? Then all you really need is the clamp and a knot in the airline tube to adjust drip speed.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Yeah that would work, thats probably a better idea than mine 😂

[@afnaanameer9111]

Did dead shrimp powder do any good ? We are waiting for detailed video

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

yes its pretty good, I am adding a match heads worth of powder in every tank daily, if there is too much algae I just dont add so much, you can see it in the tanks in this video, some tanks even have green water from it. 😂

[@HypnoNett]

Genius

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

no you are!!

[@tunguyen-tq4td]

Mark please update us on the agar agar tank!

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Unfortunaly it didnt work, I tired it again a few months later in the same tank and nothing happened at all. a while after I added a cup of ADA amazonia soil and the walls went green again.

[@tunguyen-tq4td]

@@MarksShrimpTanks that’s sad to hear. Did you cycle the Amazonia before you added it in or did you just add it straight in?
