Default LZX's Shrimp Tank

Share my set up for this year. Hopefully will not change anymore

Share my FTS first:

Some brief description. Tank is a 3ft tank partitioned into two. Each tank's filtration is Under Gravel Filter (UGF). Water is chilled by using stainless steel pipes, running through a water reservoir to chiller at the bottom.

Water's temperature is roughly 25 degrees. Left side of the tank is for PRLs while the right side is for my favourite King Kongs and Blue Bolts.

Water change is about 30-40% and top up with RO water.

After one grueling month of waiting, finally added the stainless steel pipes and chilled the water. Added "test shrimps" the same day.

Tank so far so good. No casualties. Running for almost a month now.
