Today I'm setting up 2 shrimp tanks with an extremely fast method which only takes 7 days to cycle! Would it really work? Let's find it out!
This unique technique I've got from my friend Darick Koh, a shrimp breeder and aquarium shop owner in Singapore whom I visited earlier this year. All the products I've used in this video are available in his store including his own aquasoil which I'm testing in this video.

    Great video! Ive been doing it this way myself for a little while and its just so simple and easy to do. 👍

    This is definitely a shrimp setup I want to try out. Loved the video. I’m pretty sure you’re the one who inspired me years ago with the fancy shrimp. Happy I found the YouTube channel all over again definitely hitting the sub button
  • @user-tq2sz8lr1p
    I would be afraid to do that. I'm glad that everything turned out well for you!

    Hello I did the same, ordered products from shrimps affair. Cycled my thank in 5 days for my fancy black tiger shrimp. It worked perfectly no shrimp loss, easy maintenance it is just perfect
  • Now I have to say I miss seeing you and your shrimp room ! Time flies , I guess but hopefully you will be back because you have one of the best channels going and I believe it's your attitude and the enjoyment you always share !!! So that's what I wanted to say and I now have been enjoying my 1st time which has been a huge sucess , now I have to start the separation process and...

    I’ve accidentally had little hitch hikers a few times in brand new setups when using established plants and rocks, I was to scared to remove them and put them through more parameter swings! They always made it some how, maybe youth or the fact there was only 1 but I agree with using inexpensive shrimp or culls initially, better safe than sorry! Look forward to seeing your results, the tanks look great. I can’t believe how many different ways there is to set up a shrimp tank… size, soils, bacterias,filters, boxes, built in, ph, gh, lights, times, feeds, fertz! There’s prob 10 choices of each item and every combination 😂

    Hey Leon, such a great video! 7 days is amazing! thanks for pointing out that ammonia is less toxic in lower ph, i've heard it a few times but first time seeing it. I'm a little bit weary about 7 days, but i might give it a try as i need to reset a bunch of tanks soon. Did 4 already. Happy to see the golden galaxy/yellow pintos doing well for you, over 50 that's amazing, I had 6 berried in the summer but only 1 baby survived, kinda (later found out the pH was too high) now I have 6 left and moved them to a new tank and hope they'll breed for me. Keep up the great owrk and can't wait till the next update!
  • Just done 2 like this and ive got another in the process also have a ugf box cycling, managed to source shrimps affair powder in the uk its taken me months to find and outlet! I got a lot from your 2 shrimp affair videos 😊

    We just did a 7 day shrimp setup. It was only possible because we had a filter sponge with a great biome to start. Our levels spiked and receded quickly
  • @liewahyudi9609
    great video as always! 7 days cycle is crazy haha i also tried to put my shrimps in a tank with 3ppm amonia from ADA gold label, mostly juvenile n babies they are fine, no casualties. but i monitor my nitrate level since rico nico said 25ppm is the maximum level baby shrimp can take. cant wait for another shrimp room tour video from you !
