How about a good long in-depth update on this spectacular tank?

Chilled and informative, thanks dude. The light tip is gold.

Looks incredible man! I’m really looking forward to seeing future updates on this tank!

This is so cool and helpful! I love how detailed you go into the tank setup, I'm heavily considering getting some shrimps so I want to make sure I can do the best I can for them!

Coming from zero experience or knowledge a mere month ago now, your channel has given me all the confidence and knowledge to take the dive and setup my first tank. Shadow pandas have taken my fancy. Seeing a real person do real things i think is what has helped me learn the most. So once again a big thank you, for all the time and effort you have put into your channel and all the knowledgeyou have shared. Looking forward to embarking on this adventure with you! Keep it up! 🦐

Thanks for your video. Can i ask about all your new tank set up need how much days before put shrimp in your tank. In my country they said need about 3-4 weeks for goood but i think so long. My shrimp Sulawesi and bloody. Thnaks and hope you answer

Now you're getting it ;) good job Mark. Keep it up 👍👍

Best type of format ever!

Nice Mark, Ill have to get me some blue bolts

Super! Love blue bolts too. Yours are beautifull. Thanks for another great video. Hope your back is better soon.

Really enjoying your content! However I didn't catch what you called the thing you put in the feed dish? Fairly new to keeping shrimp. I can't manage too much with the Cancer, but I dearly love watching the shrimp. I would really appreciate any answers on: 1) what did he put in the feed dish? 2) what does it do? 3) why do you need a feed dish? I have only seen people drop food in. Thanking you all in advance 😘

Simplistic, ideal for shrimp, and looks great too. Win/win for everybody!

Shimmering light appeals to me too. Very Bladerunner

Awesome set up Mark.👍🏻

Absolutely amazing! I feel like im watching a BBC docuementary with this stuff - shimp care at the highest level. What a great wee addition to any house :) I think shrimp are becoming more and more popular!

I am newly obsessed with shrimp. I have babies! Just noticed today! :)

Great instructional video! Thanks Mark!

The WURGONNADO caught me off guard 😄

Very nice Mark, looking forward to seeing the development of this tank for sure.

Been watching your videos for a long time. But only getting into shrimp tanks now. My question is . What type of brick you use and is there any worry of contamination from the bricks leching ?

YES!!!! MY FAVORITE KIND OF CONTENT!!

Great video, mate! I really enjoy seeing the under gravel setup as well as the akadama and zeolite!

Love this video and tank Mark 👍 Can't wait to see its progress

Awesome tank Mark beautiful shrimp looking forward to seeing the progress of this project ❤

Looks great!!

Great set up video. Tank looks amazing too mate.

With seachem stability and prime. Do you find that it takes the full 7 days to cycle the tank or does it take longer

Damn Mark that is a gorgeous tank ! Well done I’m setting up a full rack for bee shrimp with proper ugfs and akadama and I can’t wait to get updates on this one ! Would love to see how much you feed and what’s your feeding regiment

New to the channel. :) Thanks for the content. A familiar flag in this video. :D Greetings from Norway.

Mark great step by step, so you really like the bonsai soil for your shrimp tank? Thank you from NYC

Loving the lights. Interested to see how you fix the ‘short cord’ problem. 🇦🇺❤️

Those bricks are awesome!

Hello Mark, iam planning to setup a blue bolt tank. Since this video is one year old I was wondering if you would set it up the same way or would you change something? Would you still use Akadama or a different soil? Great video as allways 🤩

They look so cool!

For the filter on the bottom did you run an air stone at the very end of pipe just before the end you siliconed? Or how did you run that diagonal underground pipe?

Thanks for teaching us a new Scottish word! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Great video Mark! Your videos are super helpful to new shrimp keepers, keep up the great work! Side note: my 1st caridina tank with CRS is 3 months in and doing absolutely fantastic thanks for all the information 👍

Nice setup i have a question what is cinnamon bark is a stick? what are the benefits for shrimps that stick give?

Might be a dumb question but regarding your under gravel filter - is the air hose connected near the bottom bend or the top bend? Thanks in advance.

Love Akadama!

Hi Mark, is there any way to regenerate aqua soil by using e.g root tabs? Or would this not replace the nutrients in the soil that have been removed over time? I'm really interested to know what the negative impact of leaving aqua soil for over a year, and if there is any way this can be helped / avoided without redoing the tank. Any advice appreciated - Thanks!

Looks great. Do you have a method of cultivating the Subwassertang or do you just recycle it from tanks? I have it tied to my pleco caves and have a noticible growth after increasing lighting. How are the plecos doing?

Hey Mark, What was that little oxygenator you put in the feeder dish called for i have not seen that before.. i am having too many power cuts here and wondered if it would help for i have no power backup for my 30cm tank and last time i lost 3 tetra's .. thank you and really enjoyed watching as usual :)

Silly question but what was that thing you put in or near the food bowl?

Pardon, what is that glass tube you put in the feeding dish? I’ve not see anything like it before. What does it do?

In regards to your comment about light - you want a bulb that has something called CRI (colour rendering index) the higher the closer you get to sunlight. I built a system using downlights and each bulb cost me about £5-6

great viddo and set up - enjoyed watching!!! I told you a few weeks ago that I was excited that a couple of my females had eggs. As a complete beginner I was very on edge about it all!!!! but delighted to say I have now got about 16 tiny shrimp swimming around - but I think only one shrimp actually had hatchlings!!!! The other one did not seem to come to anything - is that a possibility??? K

what's the little thing you picked up after the bacteria and feeding dish?

Do you test the Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates before putting shrimp in? I have been trying this method on a new tank and my Nitrites are still high even with feeding the bacteria like you do.

Do you know if the bricks you use will affect the water parameters somehow? I live in Sweden and recognize much of your equipment, including the bricks. I have thought about putting bricks in my aquariums but I am afraid the water will be affected. Would you have any thoughts to share on that?

Is this the Akadama Ibaraki for Bonsai trees ?

Awesome video! Exactly what I need as my old tank started leaking. I’ve watched all of your soft water shrimp set up videos and they’ve been so helpful, it’s hugely appreciated. I noticed that you used to leave the akadama in for about 2 years then change it to reinvigorate population growth, so I was wondering why you recommend a year now? I find the scientific side of shrimp keeping really interesting so I’m just curious 😊

What is the plant called that you tied to the bricks? Sorry I couldn't hear it properly :p

Iv got a 4 foot shrimp tank .i use a matern filter at one end with a moving bed bottle filter in the gap behind the matern and some lose media i use a lift tube and air line to send water from behind the matern fillter to the far end of the tank and a big sponge fillter with a 90 degree bend to send water back down in a loop i olso use a ugf box full of aqua soil . 3 foot of the tank is ugf baffle plates with 1inch of soil on top with to up lift tubes

How long does the Akadama soil last or compared to Amazonia?

I cant find the plant on google , can I get correct word for both plant that on brick?

Could you explain the oxidator for me please @ Marks Shrimp Tanks ?

Hi Mark! Any updates on EC GH ect. For the zeolite tank? It would be interesting to see how the parameters change over time🙂

I enjoy your moss covered bricks

Mark any plans for an update on this tank?

what do use for night light? or you shrimps need them?

Can I mix blue bolts with CRS ? What TB can I mix with without messing genetics?

what is that think you put in the feeding dish?

Is that an East Coast of Scotland accent I'm picking up ? (Aberdeen-ish) A big Hi from Paisley B-)

where do you buy your akadama from ?

Does it matter what size the zeolite is?

Hello! I’m about to reset my shadow panda tank. I’m considering akadama and ADA Amazonia as soils. I do like having stem plants in the tank for nutrient export and viewing pleasure. Is akadama ok at growing plants? Or should I go with Amazonia if I am wanting plants? I also saw an article online that akadama buffers the water for 2-3 years vs 8-14mo with Amazonia. Have you seen the same results on water buffering?

could u share a link to where u bought the floodlight plz^^ (im also from norway and would love to know from where u get them). i would like to replace the light that came with the fluval edge (46liter), do u have any recommendation to what strenght of the light i should get for that tank, and maybe to how high over the tank it should go? plants in the tank are just some moss and anubias :). i recently set that tank back up after not using for a while and then saw how bad the light was compared to my other tanks. im planning to have a few shrimp in the tank aswell as some pygme coridoras once the tank is fully cycled (maybe nano fish or endlers later in the future). recently discovered ur channel since ive been obsessing over shrimp lately, love ur content^^ ure doing a great job at explaining things in ur videos, keep it up! :D

I see you don't heat your tanks, what temperature is the room kept?

Are they EU style plugs but you’re in the UK?

Will the flood lights grow plants

What is the thing added to the feeding dish?

We’re can I get the feeder tray with the logo on it?😊❤

I've been wondering: what kind of bacteria does Seachem Stability introduce? I hear alot of different opinions on bottled bacteria, that they're more of a placebo than anything else, since most bacteria need oxygen to survive, so I really don't know what to believe...

I used to have zeolite in my saltwater tank

Where are you located at what part of the world? What continent?

Please advise the music in the background

Some cable ties are cheap plastic but others are nylon. Nylon is far superior and will not 'snap' under almost any circumstance.

But akadama doesn't lower the PH so how do you keep it low?

3:40 why is boss music playing 🤨🤨

Epic

A Person that got Shrimp”& Dont watch your Videos” they are cheating themselves.! And there Shrimp.. Your the Master.. When it comes to aquarium shrimp.. This light looked like natural light from the sky. these Shrimp will do very Well here.. cant wait for the next one..👻

I was under the impression beneficial bacteria was pointless in an empty tank, unless dosing ammonia?

Hi I need help don't know what do

❤hi there zeolite don’t change water parameter …

The word 'cholla' comes from Mexican Spanish, so it rhymes with Hoya....CHOY-ah.

You messed up your back carrying that 10kg bag all at once.

First!

After watching this, I have decided that I am NOT going to keep shrimps. 😅
