Default [Gryphon] My shrimp journal

Started my shrimp keeping journey in office with a 20cm cube tank keeping low grade CRS and upgraded to a 1 feet cube within 3 months

Now after my CO's approval , I have just setup a 2 feet tank in the living room.
Equipment are as follows:
- 2 feet x 15" x 15" 8mm tank with cabinet
- Eheim 2026 canister filter
- Hailea 150A chiller
- 2 feet LED light
Soil: Benibachi with fulvic grain
Flora: Driftwoods with mini Christmas moss or US Fissidens, hornworts, Tiger lily and Marsilea Hirsuta in the foreground

Under the Benibachi soil which has fulvic grain and I added BT-9 and ADA bacter ball as well as crushed mineral rock and Boneowild Bebi. [I know I am very Kiasu ]

Cycled my tank for 2 weeks as I am using Benibachi soil with many added bacteria and washed my filter sponge of my office tank in the new tank. Then a week later I did 40% water change and added more BT-9, Microlift Special blend, Mosura Mineral plus and Gravidas.

Added 3 shrimps last Thursday and they are doing well and one moulted last night.

Current parameters:
PH: Between 6.1 to 6.2
GH: 4
Temp: Set at 24 Deg
