I use an acrylic sponge filter box modified by removing the sponges and replacing with substrate. Then it gives me the flexibility to either add a thin layer of substrate on the glass bottom or add a thicker layer of substrate.
I got a 20 gal long for 36$ at pet co… I heavily planted it and tossed in mystery snails and yellow/bluedream shrimp. Waiting to see if I get any emeralds~
I have various setups as well. My thick layer substrate still buffering pH 5.4 and lots of shrimps. The problem with lots amd lots of shrimps in a tank is their sizes stayed relatively small. Plus i have to do frequent water changes otherwise the nitrates will shoot up.
Thats great! I always like having various Setups. Ideally You need to separe them into a Growth out tank or add second tank if Big population. And Yes with frequent water change it helps them to grow better... :)
Hi! I'm Japanese. In Japan, your third type shrimp tank is called "Taiwan Way". Whare have you known that ? I am interested in Canadian Style for Shrimp breeding.
Yes you are correct. However the second and third methods are Taiwan styles. Some only add soil above UGF plate but I found doing that way, the soil will fall Down underneath the plate and I Don't want that. I want a Clean underneath plate. I just prefer separate them with some bio rocks and white foam to prevent soil falling down. It's just a matter of Personal Preference... :)

Thank you so much!!
I really enjoy your video’s, loved the comparisons. This is the first time I have heard the comparisons between thin base and UGF put so succinctly.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Well I just want to share my good and bad experiences with many shrimps hobbists that are Interested around the world. :)

Thank You! 😊
Nice video. Didn't you use a feeding dish when you used a thicker layer of soil?
Yes I did use it when had thicker layer soil. But after a year used I had many issues and realized this type didn't fit for me...
New method is hanging basket with soil 😊 no UGF box inside..just thick layer soil bottom + sponge filter then hanging basket with soil
YOU ARE just amazing!!!
What Amazon box did you use?
@@mikesgarage394 It's a square acrylic box 6 inch with lid. I don't need to use the lid though...
wow amazing
