Honestly one day i hope this channel blows up. We need more marks in this hobby. I cant watch these fake channels anymore. There all b.s made up 😂existing content. No originality , hell half of them only have channels because of who there dating. Whats funny is people take there time to watch that crap 😂 Time is way to valuable to be spent on people that only ask and take things from you the viewer. Its all ego and i can clearly see that with the ones appointed stars of the fish world lol 😂 Funny thing is , if they hade a option to pick mark. They wouldn’t pick aquatics or pets. 😂 So cheers to you and the real life knowledge you provide and share. With out a lick or asking for anything 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉

You have an air pump for your aquariums. If any aquarium has bubbles that last longer than other aquariums, this may be an indication that you have elevated nitrates. If you are not so picky with numbers, it is a cheap method. But it is perhaps too far gone for shrimp, easier for fish perhaps.

Got my water changes done today as well. Trimmed back my java moss as well. I was very surprised to see so many babies. I thought the breeding went down in the winter months, but not for me!!

I used to use the HM digital pens. A Caridina breeder friend recommended the Apera Instruments TDS20 Pen. Its been a game changer. Even with calibration my HM digital was about 40 points off

@fishtropiccanada4747 4 месяца назад

Haha yup hm pens are not accurate.

@coachlewis5190 2 месяца назад

Love you videos ..... do you use or recommend "activated carbon" in Caridina tanks ...... I've heard if you remove it that it would pull out the organics including the tannins ......

@MarksShrimpTanks 2 месяца назад

Hello Lewis, I dont keep it in the tanks unless its for a reason like removing medication, Long term use strips tanks of ferts and you would see a difference in plants like they would start to struggle and go yellow.

@benjamondo4457 20 дней назад

Hi Mark really like your videos. Was just wondering about the lights and what would you recommend leaving them on for. Thanks

@MarksShrimpTanks 20 дней назад

Hello, I have mine on for 8 hours a day and the plants seem to be doing fine if that helps you any.

@ShrimpMania 4 месяца назад

As you said at the end we all need to learn how to grow green walls to keep shrimp successfully. Over the years I learned how successfully growing green walls in my tanks and I'm sure you do not need a lot of light for it. Just normal light for 10 hours a day is ok otherwise you might also grow some nasty algae in your tank as well like beard/hair ones which you don't want.

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

My problem seems to be I cant keep them green, I think the snails might eat it all away to nothing and I am preety sure the bigger breeders kill all the snails and worms in the tanks.

@ShrimpMania 4 месяца назад

@@MarksShrimpTanks Snails definitely will eat green walls, better not to have them also limpets will clean it in no time if you have them in your tank. Now I'm resetting all my tanks with the limpets and I don't use any plants or mosses from infected tanks for my new setup. Hope one day all my tanks will be free from limpets and snails. The powder I got from shrimps affair works very well to grow green walls. Let me know if you want to try it I will post 50g for free, I have plenty of it. You got my email just drop me a line with your address. Cheers

@danielvelez2047 4 месяца назад

Love your videos. Thanks for all the advice. Can you tell me if you use any resin to control nitrates in your tanks? (Purigen, Fritz max out) I know the main source of nitrate removal is water change. I use Purigen in my community tanks. Just wanted to know if these resins are safe for shrimp. Thanks

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

I dont use anything in my tanks now, i used to use puregen but got sick of cleaning it.

ADA in UGF or? i move to next month and i would need to do some tanks new, bought UGFs but still dont know what Soil should i use. i had allways good things with Aqua Soil from tropica. Akadama is not good for UGF?

@gucciminh7486 4 месяца назад

Do you mind if I ask you why you put h202 in the water? You mentioned it’s to oxygenate it. Is this needed ?? Or could you run air through it for 24-48 hours before use.

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

I did both, you probably dont need to bother about it but I thought I would try it.

Mark other than wondering if you drink black coffee i was wondering whats under your tanks on the shelves ? it looks like just cardboard is it in wood ?

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

its fake slating, like the stuff you put on the outside of wooden houses, its sole purpose it to have a level surface for the tank, its not a structural thing, under is a shelf rated to 800kg

@grantmurphy7893 4 месяца назад

Hi Mark when you have green water do you just leave it and it will slowly go away? How do you treat it? I know it's good but not very nice to look at. What's your process when your tank has green water?

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

well i dont really do anything to the water, it can go away itself but recently I added an extra sponge filter to a tank and it cleared the next day.

@TheVapSter Месяц назад

Mark, are you still doing waterchanges on your caridina tanks?

@MarksShrimpTanks Месяц назад

no just top ups with RO now , i have loads of baby shrimp.

@alanmorrison470 4 месяца назад

Probably a hassle to set up but you could run a sump in each rack. Then you’d only need to test/water change the sump.

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

the issue with this is the filtration needs to be super fine because of the size of the shrimplets, I dont think I would trust a standard overflow to function properly.

@alanmorrison470 4 месяца назад

@@MarksShrimpTanks I’ve never used a sump but a quick search shown no videos for a shrimp one. It would make a great video if you solved the issues.

Why did u remove the water auto top of system. How are you topping off the water then .

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

Ive never had an auto top off system on all my tanks, but I will add one eventually.

@sleepytasmr 16 дней назад

Every time I do a water change my shrimp die. All the parameters are the same except the tds as as I'm trying to lower it as over time it gets high. When I do the water changes I drip the water back in... Idk what I'm doing wrong. I'm down to 4 shrimps and I haven't done a water change in a couple of weeks because I'm scared to lose them.

@MarksShrimpTanks 16 дней назад

if they are caridina just stop doing water changes, feed once a week a small amount of food like a pellet, make sure they always have a supply of brown leaves.

@andreastaus2867 4 месяца назад

Shrimp breeding is not about breeding Shrimp! It's about growing as much biofilm as possible! The more biofilm the more the babys have to munch on it and dont starve to death in the first weeks.

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

This is it in a nutshell 👍

@teagancombest6049 3 месяца назад

I'd be interested to look into what biofilm "feeds" on, especially what resources limit its growth. Just like growing plants if you can provide the limiting resources you could have better and faster growth.

@andrewgilbert1296 4 месяца назад

I only have planted tanks no filters and never do water changes. People have to do water changes because they feed too much.

@MarksShrimpTanks 4 месяца назад

You do what works for you. 👍

@teagancombest6049 3 месяца назад

People have to do water changes because of the immutable laws of physics. How often you have to do them is different for every tank. But you do, eventually, have to do them at some point, even if it's once a year.
