hey
welcome
here's the tank we are going to relocate
for the moment and add a new tower style
five gallons tank from fluval for
carradina shrimplets and carradina
crossbreeding
[Music]
so
to start with we will unplug the
equipments
and remove all the hardscape material
the lava rocks will be used in the new
setup as well as the wood pieces after
all they've been in the water for quite
some time now beneficial bacteria and
biofilm have grown on them and they'll
be a good starter pack for any new setup
you can see the hand removing the rattan
balls some of them perished and others
are still good that we will place back
in the same tank
next we will attempt to siphon out the
gravel without sucking up too many fish
this is akadama soil and has been cycled
and cleaned and will serve well for the
new setup akadama soil will help lower
the ph necessary for carradina shrimps
apparently the gravel vac ending is not
serving well better use a simple hose
with open ending the process is simple
just go with it
no need to siphon out the soil like this
you can remove it with a net or shovel
it out
[Music]
once you get to the point where you can
carry the tank and that you are
satisfied with the amount of water and
soil you want
remember to remove the filtration and
keep it running as long as possible
until you put it back in your new setup
this is gonna be harder than expected
anyway just pull it out and make sure
not to drop it filming and carrying
tanks is hard at the same time
and
voila
the new tank is in place
we'll get back to it in future video now
we'll focus on the beta
[Music]
the equipment used here came initially
with the fluval chi
it is not shrimp appropriate that is why
we will use it on this tank instead as
you can notice this aquarium is going to
remain simple anything we will put in is
changing with time the plants are going
to a friend the rock is just for extra
shelter and the filtration
oh
my
i like this filter
let's try to make this filter work
after quite few pumping and filling and
on and off it works now and the
waterfall effect on it is just wow
i mean it can be used in many type of
setups like moss growing on it and
terrarium builds
the lighting from this filter is a bit
dim we added an extra light from the
fluval edge
also we noticed that the light switch is
broken on this one so we can't really
turn it off because it will turn of the
filtration as well
not
convenient
hope you are enjoying the video please
like and subscribe and let us know in
the comment what you would to see on our
channel
we are cycling the other tank we place
so we will show the build in next week's
video most probably once the shrimplets
are moved that way we ensure there are
some shrimp updates in the same video of
the build
better not rush things
so far so good just a simple setup as i
said
a lava rock the retin balls from earlier
and few plants
enjoy watching this part relaxing to the
pumping music
