Ya, wait for me if you can.

My exams finish end August, then will go with you to choose, I'm also going on my hunt on September too! But babies one better, now my current crays too big already, that's why selling away.

Okay "cray-nantics", I've my third batch of rocks in my tank already. Although I

said that my third batch would take some time, but hey I found a really good

deal by bro rainbow and now they're in my tank. Pics as below.

Cheers.!

ladies and gentleman. First off, I would like to say, if you guys are considering to

buy any boyu external caninsters especially the low flow rate ones. I

recommend that you stay off them. It's not because their flowrate sucks, their

cannister sucks. It leaks, the self-priming is poor, the material is poor, start up is

not hassle free. Even a normal eheim classic line cannisters are easier to start

them this cannister. I know I am using the boyu EF-05 external caninster but I

am going to change it to a eden most probably. Anyways my tank is already up

and running today. Photos should probably be up tomorrow or the day after.

Got quite abit of bacteria bloom. I shall be nice and show you guys one teaser

picture of my right side waterfall.

Oh and I've decided to replace the red clawed crabs with Sulawesi shrimps.

So the final tank combo is 2-3 crays and 10-15 Sulawesi shrimps.

The crays will RAPE the shrimps... Totally.
its like throwing pellets(shrimps) into a koi pond full of koi(crayfish)

And the shrimps aren't brackish.

Stick with crabs.

i wanted to in the first place..but the red clawed crabs are brackish...and after

researching for two days. the crays and the crabs dont compliment each other

in terms of water chemistry. crays need totally freshwater. the crabs need

brackish waters of at least 1.005. So my main fauna is on crays. So I'm going to

stay freshwater.
