Uh oh. I did a bad thing
I ventured into ADC, London and bought some stuff. I knew I could not resist.
However I was convinced not to spank the money on the orange eyed blue shrimp, rather test out on some others. And I for some reason (probably weight) avoided the dragon stone.
So in the end I got the following:-
When I get home I will immediately turn off lights and CO2 and start a use my makeshift drip method of introducing the tank water to the bag with the shrimp in (Use a kids Nurofen syringe to put 5ML doses of tank water in the bag every 10 mins for 1.5hrs)
Will also dump the wood in a plastic washing basket/beer ice bucket/new tank water syphon bucket (takes 4-5 normal sized buckets to fill this baby up. Guessing that I soak the wood in boiling water each day for 5 days?
Now to plot how I can finance a shrimp only tank cheaply! I am thinking of a relatively small tank that can be next to my bed sitting ontop my bedside "Tallboy". So the pump needs to be extremely quiet as I am a light sleeper. Want something that is less worrying than my high tech tank.
Will provide some more photos when I get to the camera.
Cheers

So in the end I got the following:-
- 5 CRS - Not expensive grade ones. Just to see if they can deal with my tank
- Some sumatra (I think) wood (best get soaking when I get home)
- Some capatta leaves - I thought they were food for the shrimp, but was told the main reason is to lower the PH.
- A European guide on Specialist shrimps
- I got given the old Tropica brochure, an ADA brochure and some shrimp food.
