hello how are you today here's the
previous shallow tank we set up last
week and in this week's video we carry
on with the second one let's go through
the changes together in the island setup
a Simple and Clean tank for shrimp
breeding
[Music]
we'll start by quickly cutting to size a
foam layer to level the tank we always
use five to six millimeters of yoga mats
they do the job saves a bit on cost
however as you notice this Tank's bottom
layer is glued inside the side glasses
we don't think it is safe to have it
done this way but we'll see if it needs
any adjustments in the future let's just
test it for 24 hours with a small amount
of water assuming that it will hold for
a long duration after setup
well absolutely no leak for now
hopefully it remains this way we'll go
ahead and place the foam layer
underneath and start emptying the old
Fluval transferring everything to this
tank
let's not bore you with the details
emptying the water just make sure to
keep as much as you clean of clean water
that you can reuse it is parametrized
water and not easily made
we use the tank water to clean
everything we removed plants mosses
Driftwood filter they all should be
brushed and cleaned to avoid
contamination in the new setup no need
to use purified water or tap water doing
it with the tank water is fine
as you noticed we added some akadama
soil akadama will help buffer the ph and
reduce it for this size tank we need an
extra cup you can rinse it before use
however as this is an empty tank we can
wait for the dust to settle
next layer the soil depending on the
design you would like to achieve keeping
in mind that a good layer of soil helps
the water nitrification over time and
keep the shrimps healthy and in a good
mood to breed
for this setup as usual we will go with
kind of an island setup where we keep
everything in the center of the tank
which gives us visibility over the
entire surface rather than hiding the
back or side walls
well honey don't you know that
when you hold me tight well I got this
feeling that will be all the plants and
rocks were recycled from the previous
tank the Mosses are important for shrimp
breeding we have flame in Taiwan Moss
some bucephalandra that is visually
appealing and seems to do okay in shrimp
tanks
[Music]
longing for your love babe
for your eyes
got nowhere else to shrimp tanks for
breeding do not require plants they are
not scaped for display rather keep
plants to a minimum stick to epiphide
and mosses and make sure to add a lot of
Botanicals and hiding places for
hatchlings and adults as well
we like to use acrylic tube and cover
them with mosses I'll add a link in the
description to our store
the living Gia is not a necessary
element
since we have it we'll keep it for now
but we'll remove it soon definitely that
is why we keep it in a pot for easy
removal check the video about plants
preparation
[Music]
what am I to do
I ain't got no choice but to reach for
the moon yeah
just by your side
[Music]
and he just it is
[Music]
and here we are here is the final setup
along with the similar tanks next to it
let us know in the comments what you
think I kinda like it it is simple and
is everything we need for breeding we
will probably change the filtration to
sponges
[Music]
