The tip at about 20:30 is just what I needed for a water change for my ghost shrimp tank with all of the babies flitting about. Thanks!

great video and great timing. Just about to reset the tanks on my rack and wanted to see how a pro does it for ideas for myself. Keep up the great work!

Amazing video! Also I got AGAIN shrimps, but with vampire crabs in paludarium :) Wish you all the best!

Thank you for this Mark, you promised and you delivered. I'll be doing this sometime next year. It took me ages to get my crystal reds to breed and now I have hundreds, mostly down to the advice on your excellent channel. 🦐

Ahhh i take good and bad info and decide for myself. Been breeding shrimp now for over 8 years ❤ and i think we all have our special ways !!! Cheers

Great video again Mark. This style of content is awesome when your just having fun with it

Nice tank setup! Good to see you getting back to good old Akadama soil and hopefully it'll work for you as good as before. Without its leaching ammonia, you can do it fast and skip a long cycle.

Nice video Mark. Answered some questions I had in my head about restarting/changing soil in soft water tanks 👍

Great video Mark ❤ thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks so much, I'm sure this step by step very useful and needed, because many, especially new in hobbyst, start with only single aquarium and sure most of them start with aquascape like on this video, thumbs up, Marks

Looking good as always 👌

Great set up Nice and simple gets the job done.🍀🦐🌿😎👍

Hey Mark, there is also a sponge filter without air supply to buy, really quite. I use. Catching shrimp is like scratching a record😂. I was learning the fast way to clean and rebuild a good shrimp tank.

Don't listen to youtube, they are making all content look and sound the same. You do You. We like you. Take care, be well

Great video and I enjoy with you go off on a tangent. 🙃

Hey Mark how are you? I do hope that all is well with you and your family 👪 ❤️. Hey great video, I have a tank that I have to restart but really didn't know we're to start. Thanks! 🤗

Good stuff

Hi Mark, can you test a dirted tank done the Father Fish way? I am very curious to find out if it will work for crs.

Thank you for the video. I've noticed in your previous videos your crystals would sit around 150tds? How come your now around 190tds? What pH would you recommend or is it better to focus on gh/kh/ph.

hi Mark love your vids ! ( Tammy here from B.C. Canada) Im just starting my first Caridina tank. I have a question that I was hoping that you may be able to help me with. I have had a 10 gallon running for 2 months with plants and amazonian soil. can I take some soil out dry it and would it be cycled to use in another tank later. Thanks for any help and for all your wonderful shrimp keeping videos!

Hey Mark, i know you are the freshwater shrimp king but i would love to see you trying to breed salt water harlequin shrimps!!! Keep up the good work 💗

Pretty soon I'll be doing a 4ft aquascape shrimp tank, I have an ro filter which I use for my 24l now, atm I just mix to connectivity in a bucket then add. If I was to add pure ro to the empty tank and it has a tds of 50 or so would I add gh/kh+ to get it 50 above my target or include the amount already in there from soil, hardscape and plants etc. Just don't really have a way to store or drip so much pre mixed water is all.

Hi Mark, I am using this technique but I am using Fluval Stratum and it appears to be leaching quite a lot of ammonia (about 0.50ppm) even after 4 days. PH is at 6.2. Do you think I should wait until the ammonia level is down to 0 before re adding the shrimp? Thanks 👍🏻

Oh that’s tighter🤣 been in that situation a couple times💀🤣🥁

Excuseme sir. What's lamp to use tank?

Hi Mark, I keep cherry shrimp, badly they keep dieing, the only issue I see, is I have extremely soft water (Scotland), it comes out the tap and instantly changes with 1 drop kh water test (NT labs test kit), I have always put cuttle fish in my tank because I know the water is soft, but should I be try to get the KH up before even adding it to the tank after a water change?, if so how do I do this, I just have a small 19lt tank and am down to 10 shrimp again ,no breeding, I've had a few, tank fully cycled for about a year now, thankyou for any help you can give me.

As an Australian, I love this guy. Shame he can't speak english though...... Joking Mark!

What is the glass thing you put in the feeding dish in most the tanks? What does it do??

I can't find the little peroxide reactors anywhere. What are they called, and where can I get them?

Hi Mark what Zeoliet do you use? Greetings from Holland

Hi Mark, how many liters can you manage with just one double sponge filter? 

what are some floating plants and normal plants you recommend for no plant expert?

Hey Mark what do you use as a black light blocker above the tanks?

I have my first red rili shrimp tank that the first shrimp went in on July 2. There are 14 shrimp and many are saddled, but none have berries yet. Water perimeters are fine. Is there anything I can do to get them breeding?

Hey Mark, what brand is that Zeolite?

How often do you have to empty the tank and take out the flooring materials?

I see you have hornwort in the galaxy fishbone tank. That is very surprising as I've always had hornwort completely fall apart as soon as pH would go under 6.8.

Hi mark .how much had the ph dropped from the time of starting that tank ? If my tank has still got a low ph but my shrimp have stopped breading would you still recommend changeing the soil . My shrimp were breeding well then jest stopped becoming berryed beginning of November as the temp in the uk started to drop. My water parameters are spot on and the tank is 7 months old . NO shrimp death's at all jest no breeding for over 5 weeks .should i be concerned?

but Mark, how long do i need to cycle the tank? even if there is old soil inside? 😁

So this way we dont need to cycle 4-8 weeks if we have old filtration? And some stability... ?

TDS close to 200? I get stressed when my tds goes over 150 and do water change. So closer to 200 is better?

Can you use distilled water instead of RO water?

What are the size of the tank?

what plant was in your tank?

Air Supply?! Alexa, play music by Air Supply!

I forgot if u already explained it but why u chose akademia instead amazonia v2 🤣🤣🤣
