Well. With my somewhat controlled MTS...
I'm already up to 4 Tanks in a little more than a year returning to the hobby. (not too bad, all are small and I resisted 3 months between each)
Another revamping of a good old vintage kit. This will be my "Commercial" shrimp breeding tank and going to use a completely different approach that I did in my Small Planted Setup.
This time I'm going to use an air driven filter only and some more active substrate in key area, completed with inert stuff to even the bottom. I will also try to green out all the walls and bottom with a thick layer of green algae during cycling by blasting the tank 12 hours a day with the light at 107% and a good overdose of fertilizer.
I might have some good litter that I consider, maybe wood too and a clump of green string algae that does extremely well at digesting waste and for some reason helps keeping the PH Low, I proven myself it was a pretty beneficial algae in a shrimp tank in the last 8 months. And it's free, loll. It's still in the work but all the material will be here next week.
Atm my culling choice from the first tank gives me the options of trying very nice Bloodymarys, Pumpkins and literally Black Roses. I have some so black they have only a little white left in their legs and a light blue reflection. These would be a good contender to be able to raise my price.
The greenish smudge is on the glass.
It's like the Batmobile. I have enough good specimens of each to start colonies, but have to decide...
