Default My journey towards shirmp keeping.

After much considerations, persuasion and planning. I finally embarked my journey in shrimp keeping.

Poison was from bro washywashy's facebook posts, bro soonhong's, bro bai's posts on AF that really got me deeply poison and i decided to keep them ay my home instead of looking at posts online.

Enough talking form me, these are the pictures of my setting up process:

Tank 3ft length x 1.5ft width and 1ft height, Partitioned into 3.



Bought eheim substrate to spread out at the bottom of my tank so that the soil wont clog up as much:




The soil and minerals i used for cycling purposes. BT-9, Mosura Old Sea Mud Powder and Minerax




Thin layer of soil above the eheim substrate and added mosura old sea mud powder:

adding another thin layer of soil, then followed up by adding minerax




Add the final layer of soil, and time to fill it up with water!



The hearts of this whole set up:




And finally we are done!
