I am sure you have seen or heard the abbreviations used for the Crystal Red shrimp, but there is still one group that has many scratching…

Just completed by 2nd time of solid reset without removing any Shrimp from the tank :) Video showing the PRL Shrimp are happily eating their “pellet” meal after the soil reset.

I am pretty happy and satisfy on my approach of cycling new soil and how I make soil reset as easy as possible.

In my next post, Will do a recap to share on my approach of set up the soil for my PRL Shrimp tank and how I manage to keep it very easy and simple in resetting the soil without removing any of the Shrimp.

Sharing on how I clean the Thermoelectric Chiller as per the attached Photos.

I am using a pipe cleaner to clean which you can see the difference from one of the photos a used pipe cleaner (in grey color) vs a new pipe cleaner (in pure while color).

My maintenance routine is to clean the Chiller once a month.

What a warm weather for today ! My PRL Shrimp tank is currently running at 28C at night 😞

Hope that the Shrimps are able to pull through the warm weather with the following actions :

1. Clean the Chiller for better cooling efficiency
2. Do a water change

My 1st night photo taken. Love to see the contrast of Red and White color :)

These are the few PRL which happen to be nearer to the edge of the tank when the photo was taken.

Preparing new Soil for my 2nd time of changing the Soil.

I normally will cycle the new Soil in a separate empty tank for a duration of 2 months before using to replace the Soil in my PRL Shrimp Tank 🙂

The above process / method is proven as all my PRL Shrimps was doing well after my 1st Soil changed !

I am happy to share good progress of the three plants after I have replaced with a more powerful new LED light from 5W to 10W.

The photo on the left (1st photo) was with a 5W LED light and the photo on the right (2nd photo) is currently under a 10W LED light. We can see a great improvement on the color of the leaves from yellowish to greener after one month of using the new 10 LED light 🙂

Fortunately I have make a switch to a more powerful LED light in time to save the three plants !

A lesson learned 🙂

1st time feeding “pellet” food and getting good response ! I have been feeding powder food since day 1.

Will alternate feeding the pellet and powder food in moving forwards to observe any changes to their growth rate or getting more baby shrimps :)

Latest photo taken which showing that the plants are not doing well as I have just change to a new Light when the old Light stop working.

Apparently the new Light is not strong enough (output Watts) looking at the yellow color of the leafs 😞 Will need to replace with another Light which have a higher Watts output.

Doing semi-auto water change and also preparing new soil to replace the soil in the main tank to be replaced in Oct 2023
