i staying at level 1, away from direct sunlight.
and also maybe recently is the raining season so weather cold.

will invest in chiller if necessary.

Coincidentally, I m also staying at ground floor, but I m not so lucky as the room temp has never dropped to 26C with the lightset switched on. Well, regardless of raining season or not, I would recommend chill as it can maintain the temp and narrow the fluctuations to max, 1.5C. Too much temperature fluctuations may not be good for CRS.

TS, looking forward to this shrimp setup..... Update us soon.

Thanks for sharing!
I notice you using Eheim cannister. However you are using a
different kind of inlet piping?
Any particular reason for doing so?

the inlet is a sponge type i saw it at c328 so bought it.
the sponge will prevent shrimplets from getting into the inlet hose.

the replacement or washing of the sponge is also easiest with this. i can use a plastic bag and cover the black sponge and pull out to wash and replace with another sponge.

or alternatively you can also buy those sponge and put it onto the eheim hose.

Waiting to see your new colllections.....

for the inlet, i am using netting to cover. i used to use sponge to cover the inlet but it got dirty and pretty much clog the thing.

not sure if netting is a good choice though.

how long do you intend to cycle your tank?

just did a 100% water change.

will cycle and introduce plants 1st after another 2-3 days.
and monitor the ammonia and nitrate and ph.

most probably in 3 weeks to 4 weeks to let the plants eco system balance out.
