This was such a fun video! I love your ideas and I cannot get enough of you saying SHRIMPLE😂

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Just watched it now great video I love the tank and the filter.

[@AquariumShed]

Whoop whoop! It means a lot to get your seal of approval! Hope you're doing well!? 👍

[@PapaShrimpTX]

Looks like a fun little project, thanks for sharing and for "Keeping It Shrimple"

[@AquariumShed]

OMG - why did I not think of this pun!!! 🤣🤣

[@PapaShrimpTX]

@@AquariumShed ... lol, it's my channel's tagline and the title of my weekly stream ... It even has it's own logo!! lol

[@AquariumShed]

@@PapaShrimpTX Haha. That's hilarious, I'll have to check your channel out. Please don't sue me for pun infringement.... 🤣🤣🤣

[@bjornanders]

You're back! Interesting idea!

[@AquariumShed]

Feels great to be back with such a lot of interest in the new video. Thanks so much for watching! 👍

[@usmc187]

I had to watch this twice! So damn cool!

[@AquariumShed]

Ha. Glad you enjoyed. The tank is still going strong too! 💪

[@Chudz_1]

What a absolutely cracking video big up shrimple

[@AquariumShed]

Thank you so much. So cool to see such a lot of interest in this video. Really appreciate the support! 👍

[@emberframe6994]

Love the creative filters

[@AquariumShed]

Thankss so much, glad you enjoyed! 👍

[@MissChelle]

Love it! I love diy around the home & in my tanks. I recently made a mini pyramid with straws for my breeding guppies. I added moss too but didn’t think about adding stones. You are brilliant, more videos like this please ❤️🇦🇺

[@AquariumShed]

A guppy pyramid sounds awesome!! Really glad you are enjoying my videos. 👍

[@Sundry303]

I instantly subscribed just because of Shrimple😂

[@AquariumShed]

Haha. Amazing. Welcome to the channel, glad you are enjoying it so far! 👍

[@pecosR0B]

glad you didn't give up on the Shrimple (TM)! lol

Haha. Thanks so much, really pleased you liked it!! I should defo trademark the name like you say.... lol

Wow! Awesome 🤩 So huge surface for biofilm! 🦐💕🦐

@@AquariumShed both for the Temple of Shrimp pleasures and the superb video skills :)

[@EZDuzIt1979]

Wow, that is cool! I wish my hand tremors would let me do something as cool as that, I can barely put plants in substrate.

[@AquariumShed]

Oh no. Stay strong Israel, whatever you can do I'm sure it brings you joy and that's the most important thing. Aquariums have really helped me to manage my medical condition and find a sense of calm! Take care, and thanks for watching! 👍

[@EZDuzIt1979]

@@AquariumShed thanks for the encouragement, I'm new to the hobby as well as gardening I have much to learn but get great joy in them, cheers easy mate!

[@chernobyl9556]

Amazing scape!! What water do you put in and what would you say your water parameters are plus tds, KH and GH?

[@AquariumShed]

Glad you liked it. Will have to dig out the stats from my journal for you! 👍

[@chernobyl9556]

@@AquariumShed perfect I know it’s strict business for shrimp breeding so just want to make sure, I have my tank set up but just letting the algae and moss grow a little

[@rgilroy1909]

Great idea with the airlift tube. I've used perforated masonry brick (the ones w/ several small holes in the middle). By banking up the soil on the bottom level, you've essentially created an "under gravel shrimp box filer"(super popular in Asia). Using active substrate and slowly filtering water through it, will naturally adjusts the pH, O2 redox, and stabilizes Gh & Kh. Just make sure to replenish the seiryu stone as needed to maintain the Kh. Seiryu does have a lot of limestone in it and all those shrimp molts need calcium.

[@AquariumShed]

Thanks so much for the advice, I'll be sure to replenish the seiryu stone. Glad you like the filter design, I have been so impressed with it so far! What did you think of the spray bar idea?

[@oakharts]

This is amazing! Subbed! Given me some video ideas for possible shrimp habitats!

[@AquariumShed]

Really pleased you enjoyed it. Good luck with your future projects! 👍

[@markfranklin8831]

nice little project good work ✌️👍

[@CittizinKane]

Good food for fish!!! Cool end product design 🦐

[@AquariumShed]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jessicaf6416]

This looks so interesting! What size tank is it in? Curious if I can do something similar

[@AquariumShed]

Hiya, glad you liked the Shrimple. It's still going strong and has definitely created a great breeding environment. The tank is a Dennerle 55l Scapers tank which is 45 x 36 x 34 cm. But you could make this work in any size tank by adjusting the size of the pipes you use! Good luck with your tank! 👍

[@jessicaf6416]

@@AquariumShed thank you so much for such a quick reply!! Will definitely have to start measuring up and experimenting :)

[@AquariumShed]

Happy to help! Let us know how it goes! 👍

[@UltimateDelivery]

This looks great!

[@AquariumShed]

Thanks so much. Really appreciate the support!

[@tyboone969]

i did the same thing but with okostone, and i highly recommended it,

[@AquariumShed]

Sounds awesome!!

[@afifahzulkefli]

Probably the best shrimp tank setup video I’ve seen! I just finished setting up a shrimp tank yesterday, it’s no SHRIMPLE but this gave me some idea to follow 👀 May I know if you use tap or RO water for this setup?

[@AquariumShed]

Hey, thanks for the positive feedback, really appreciate the support! I just use tap water and seachem prime. But I really should explore getting an ro filter! 👍

[@afifahzulkefli]

@@AquariumShed Sure! And thanks for replying! I subbed immediately after this video and have binged on a lot of your videos today. So glad I came across your channel 😄

[@AquariumShed]

That's awesome. Thanks so much for subscribing. Honestly your initial comment made my day because it reminded me of these funny Carlsberg beer adverts we used to get in the UK that said "Probably the best beer in the world". I might make some merch with your quote tbf! 👍😂

[@AquariumShed]

I loved this comment so much I made some merch in honour of it! 🤣my-store-c474ba.creator-spring.com/listing/the-best-shrimp-tank

[@richardcunliffe]

Love that you are clearly having fun with the hobby and following your imagination. Thanks for sharing, it's great fun to watch. Thinking about getting shrimp for the first time myself. I don't expect so much breeding as this, but my question is, what on earth do you do with all the shrimp you produce?

[@AquariumShed]

Thanks so much, really appreciate the feedback and pleased you enjoyed the video. Fortunately I have lots of other Nano tanks with fish that are well suited to living with Shrimp, so they are getting distributed throughout the tanks as clean up crew. Plus my friend who gave me the Blue Dream Shrimp is now taking Red Cherry Shrimp off my hands!

[@Stephen-jw8ci]

this is so cool! i think it’s impossible to avoid moss overgrowth in a tank this size but it still turned out great. subscribing in hopes that you’ll do a way larger version of this someday. and if you do a larger version check out some granite shower tiles, i used some on a paludarium i made to make parts look like castle components and it works great

[@AquariumShed]

That's a great shout, always interested in exploring new materials. Maybe I could see what I could make with just free samples. I'm such a cheapskate.... 🤣🤣

[@jacklim4344]

Looking good

[@AquariumShed]

🤣🤣Yes indeedy. The Shrimple has dominated my life for six months, most certainly a servant of my Shrimp overlords!

[@eliotopian]

I feel like I need that ending song! bop bop bop

[@AquariumShed]

Ha. Yeah, in the first edit I definitely let that play on far longer than I should have just cos I enjoyed the tune! 🤣 Thanks for watching! 👍

[@Ishiisan]

this is pretty cool! did you take out the CO2?

[@AquariumShed]

Hiya, no I have carried on using the Co2 in order to support the carpet of Monte Carlo. I think I may have temporarily removed it for the final shots in the video that's all. Glad you like the tank. One of my personal favourites. Just created something even more awesome tho, so watch this space.....

[@lordawesometony2764]

What’s the song at the end?

[@AquariumShed]

Hey, it's called Awamamba by A.M. Beef. Been stuck in my head for weeks now!

[@MC-ly8jc]

Did i miss how he eventually got the carpet to grow??

[@AquariumShed]

🤣🤣 Very good point. I eventually ordered another batch of Monte Carlo from a local seller which was better adapted to my water. It took off in no time at all. 👍

[@GerardMedano]

Looks great, although, why did you mix the beautiful blue shrimps with cherry? They inbred and end up colorless.

[@AnnaBalusik]

Anyone claim the NFT yet ?

[@AquariumShed]

Not yet..... 🤣

[@jamychun563]

Wow, look credible ✨ if put HC plant on that piramid top, how look like it's? 😂

Tbf, with the estimative index fertilisation routine, the HC will probably grow up to the top eventually! 👍
