Reef News Network and ReefWeeds present: The Super Mega Awesome Shrimp Bowl Build.

[Adele]

Got my substrate in and some decorative accoutrements. In search of some appropriate rocks and need to find my hot glue gun. Still waiting on a few more items in the mail but I think this is pulling together nicely.

 

[Adele]

Put the finishing touches on my SSB and am ready for water next weekend!
How’s everyone else’s coming along?

 

[Good_vibes_reefing]

Got my substrate today and found a container last weekend [emoji41] I’ll post some pics a little later!

 

[TheEngineer]

Been doing some construction. Going to see tomorrow, I think, if it will work.

Jealous! Since we can't get wet until this weekend I won't be ordering shrimp for a couple weeks

 

[Adele]

Where are we on number of contestants?

 

[TheEngineer]

My lighting idea worked!! The glue is setting and I'll take some pictures once it is dry enough.

I'm ready to order my shrimp next week! (I think)...

So water can go in the tank on Saturday (Aug 18), right? How long do we cycle these guys before they're ready for shrimp?

 

[Good_vibes_reefing]

I’m planning on using my reef tank water cut with RO to start the setup. I wouldn’t think that would take too long to be ready for them. Probably 2-3 weeks max if not less. Anyone know what test kits are better for Brackish? Fresh or Saltwater?

You can start buying and collecting now, but correct tank get wet before the 19th

API tests are universal from what I've read

So I got some glass cut finally. Not the best cuts but then again it's super thin, and it was my first time. Don't think them being uneven up at the top will matter.
From 2.5 to 1.8 gallons we go!

Made it out alive! I'm a marine mechanic for a living so if I did cut myself I haven't noticed with all the other pieces of my hands missing [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[AnemoneBay]

I just entered! I am ready for this! Do I also need to set up a new tank as I literally just made a shrimp tank last week? Can it be entered? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

 

[TheEngineer]

Can’t be wet until this Sunday and shrimp have to come from them.

[Collinslice]
