Yesterday bought some tigers from GC. Some shoot of them.
Got 2 of this shrimp yesterday. Dunno what kinda shrimp is it. Can anyone label them? Look like tiger but not tiger.
Finally manage to buy a cup of the clover looking plant.
The shrimps love hanging on them or over them.

As I only have a chiller running for 1 tank, the other tank will have a huge temp change when the aircon in the office was switched off.
Thus I DIY a by-pass for the non chiller tank.
What I used is the internal glass tube of a UVC-unit. As the glass is rather thin so I guess it will have a good heat exchange ability.
This is roughly how it work.
Tank A (Water from chiller ---> Rain Bar) ---> Tank B (DIY unit) ---> Tank A ( Return back to tank)
This is how the DIY unit look like in the non chiller tank.
The temp different after a day. (Left is non chiller tank)
Water from chilled tank rainbar are directed into the unit
Water are then return back to the original tank

That first shrimp in your latest update which looks a little like a tiger shrimp, do you know what it is? coz its pattern looks pretty interesting...
Also, love the way you setup the two tanks, so your not having any problems with not enough water getting into tank be?

Yeah, thats why i asked about that shrimp, coz the first thing i noticed was it had what i can only describe as cat eyes which i thought was really interesting...
As for the question about the tank, i was actually meant to say, do you have any problems with not enough water getting into tank B? coz i noticed your water goes from the chiller through the spray bar, with whatever is left over going into tank B...

Basically there's no water exchange between the 2 tanks. It's just water passing through a glass tube and back into the same tank. The glass tube always contain cold water from tank A and thus in term help to cool down tank B's water.Fat Homer;5103459; said:
