- My top tips and tricks on how to do water change in shrimp tanks. You're going to see how I prepare my water, how much and how often I change the water in my aquariums and what additives I'm using. The most important thing is to slowly drip water back to your tanks and I found a nice pump for doing this job which I'm going to show you in this video.

OMG! I have been looking for something like this for YEARS now!! I ordered it and it will be here on Monday. VERY excited to try it out. Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Brian, you are welcome! I'm glad to help. It's great pump but the battery life is not very long if you have a large tank then better to order 2 of them so you can swap them when the battery gone flat
Funny, cuz I haven't did water change for 2 years and my caridina shrimp doing fine.
How are you liking in Brian?
@@PoseidonsPets It's ok. Seems like it has an automatic shutoff so it only stays on a couple of minutes. I keep having to restart it.
@@briandotson8028 that’s unfortunate.
Thanks for this. I have one tank in a weird location to do water changes. Just ordered one just for that purpose. Thanks so much for this great informative video
No problem Ray, thank you for watching!
that is genius!!! I finally subscribed because this is awesome!
Awesome idea! 😊👍🏻 Ty for sharing this
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
I love the time laps videos. It is fun to watch. I have a similar pump, but mine shuts off after a bout a liter of water. I will need to look for another type. I like the concept.
Someone also commented that he had that issue too. I think some of them have kind of smart feature to switch off after a minute or so. Not good for what we are using for. Mine was cheapest i could find in Thailand and luckily didn’t have that function.
Such a great little device! Thx for sharing that, I love it!! Which reminds me it's time to do a wc on my tanks
Glad you liked it Ray. WC is fun ;)
Very simple, genius device 😀 thanks for sharing
Thank you Kyle!
Thanks for the video, hope you enjoyed your holiday
Thank you Venesh for your support. Yes it was remarkable time. Hard to get back to reality now
Thank you for sharing. I am using the same method of changing water.
That's awesome, thanks for watching!
Great video and great idea my friend! congrats, im definitely trying this next time i change water!!
Thank you my friend!
Great tips thank you!
Great explanatory video. Didn't realise you were UK based.
Thanks! Yes I'm UK based even my English is sucks haha
Another great video, thank you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing water dispenser will definitely get one. I used a jug before with tubing and only gravity to drip the water. This is awesome... Thx for sharing
I'm happy it was helpful for you, thanks for watching!
@@ShrimpMania Just bought one from amazon. LOL will post a video soon
It's great pump but doesn't work from usb cable, but I've managed to modify it to do so. If you want to know how to do it watch my other video - ruclips.net/video/qZ2hyDJLWec/видео.html
@@ShrimpMania I shared a short about the pump i got and tagged you in the description. It is scheduled for Tuesday, will let you know when it's live. Hope you don't mind...
Good stuff!! That pump is freaking awesome, thanks so much for sharing!!!
Thanks Brian, I'm glad it helps! Yes this pump is great if you you have a tank or two
@@ShrimpMania I have 3 10 gallon tanks so I just need to move about 3 gallons. The good news is I can actually plug in right underneath my tanks so if I need to fill a whole tank during a startup or do a larger change for any reason, it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your continued help and advice. You inspired my changes and I am only a week or two out before adding shrimp to 2 of my cycling tanks. Keep the content coming!!!
I'm super glad to hear that I can help or inspire someone like you, this is the purpose of my videos and I'm happy to promote this hobby to another people
By the way - if you plug this pump to the charger after the battery drained completely it will only start to work in a few few seconds and then it stops again so basically you have to charge it for some time before start to use it again it will not work from the plug. It will be enough to change 10-15% of the water in one 10gallon tank, I guess they might have different quality and some can last longer. Mine only cost $2. For 3 tanks you better to buy at least 2 of them.
@@ShrimpMania Good to know, I was hoping if I kept hit plugged in the whole time I would get away with it, I guess we will see. I can always grab another one if needed. Its still an awesome idea!!
This is Outstanding information, Thank You so much for sharing and the Video ! 👍🦐
You are welcome. Glad it was helpful for you!
@@ShrimpMania So you do 10% each week no matter what. I'm only doing a 10% if the Nitrate is only above 10ppm, but I am about to buy my first set of $49.99 SS shrimp and I want to do what is best the the higher end Caridina I want to move to. Also going to setup your auto water change system from the other video, thought I'd need to wait years, but so much cheaper your way and the timer for the RO top off, Golden !!
Hey Artic, Yes I do 10% each week no matter what. I don't normally check nitrate very often but when I do it's always close to 0. We not only do water change to withdraw NO3 but also to resupply some minerals into the water. It's also train your shrimp for small changes in water parameters so if you sell them for example or move to another tank they will be already trained for sudden water changes and less likely to be stressed and die
@@ShrimpMania Sound very sound and wise, soon as the auto change system is setup, this will be pain free. I too will do this moving forward to much money on shrimp to even toy with the possibility of wasting even one. Thank you so much ! 👍
Hope you enjoyed your Holiday!!
Thanks Mark. Had a good one, that what I needed. But now it's very difficult to get back to work after long break and it's very cold here
Hi Shrimp Mania! good to see you post new video again after vacation 😁. Could you make video about identifying shrimp dead and the cause? alot of newbie still think that when some shrimp leave their skin they tought it is dead😅 I think it will be a interesting video because I didn't found it on youtube yet
Hi Steven, yes that's sounds as a good idea for a video. I'll try. Thank you!
@@ShrimpMania I read/heard it from some people said that you can identify the problem, for example if the shrimp died upside down possibly because of overfeeding, or white ring because not enough mineral, is it true in your experience?
It's really hard to find out exact cause of death, sometime you can see if shrimp die from molting frailer. Normally shrimp die from stress and you don't see any obvious signs
any links for what connects to the spout of the water dispenser
These pumps are built for depensing from water-cooler type bottles, without a water cooler.
I use those bottles to prepare my remineralized RO water and pump it directly out. Stupid convenient and better than buckets
Nice video again !!! Possible to make a video how is the status of your cycling tank and what to do next? Especially the bacteria which you put in the soil what need to do next?
Sure, haven't done anything yet because I was away, I'll make another update video on this tank soon and post it on the channel in a month or so. Here is another shrimp tank setup video where I using the same method - ruclips.net/video/R0y9P1bpJCo/видео.html
This. Is. Genius!
Thank you 😊
Mironekuton powder can I add to Neo cardinal shrimp
Top notch
Thank you, Sir!
What about for neocaridina shrimp?
Hi, thanks for this video, Can you reduce return flow by knotting the airline please or will it strain the pump
yes you can
Hi, which pump model do you use for the automatic water change from the large central tank?
Hey, I explained in this video - ruclips.net/video/rYpvwaQt4Qg/видео.html
Would have liked to see you remove that mold on the back of the glass at it can spread onto the walls. Black mold is very difficult to get rid of once it takes hold.
I know I have some black beard algae in the filter, very bad algae and I have to deal with it soon
If the value of the water is 185tds how can I get the value back to 165 tds? how much should I salt the fresh water?

Can i keep the soil aside in the tank then clean the shrimps poop or waste?
Hope you had a good holiday , hope you bought loads of ugf filters back to sell , im still waiting :P
Thank you I had a great time in Thailand and a little depressed to be back to the cold weather again. I was actually looking for UGF filters in Thailand but couldn't find any. Everything is very cheap over there. I will show you how to make ugf box from glass soon, you don't need to buy
@@ShrimpMania I shall look forward to it , tank is ready and waiting :)
What is your final TDS after water change and powder added?do you calibrate your TDS meter with calibration solution?
Hey, My TDS in the tanks is between 110 and 120ppm. I just bought this pen not so long ago and I think it should be quite accurate. Never calibrated it yet but will do it in the future.
Great way to do waterchanges. auto top up and semi auto waterchanges. Love the system but I am afraid of leeks. Also the R.O. tubes get a lot off condens/ moisture. How do you handle that? Do you have a trick for it
Hey M.Y.I, Yes leaks can happened in this system and it just happened to me. One of my valve was leaking, luckily it was leak in the tank and I spotted it before it overflow. I do not have condensate on my pumps because my RO water pumping from RO container which located in the same room and RO water has the same room temperature.
@@ShrimpMania thanks for the explanation bro 👍
Great, informative video. I like the water change by pump but am wondering as it is a slow process what would happen if the pump was left to run dry - would it auto cut off when there is no water or if it remains running would the lack of water cause it damage? Have you come across this situation?
It can run dry for quite long time. Sometime I forgot to fill the topoff container for a days with no issues
@@ShrimpMania Hi. Yeah, I got a pump to siphon water from floor level up to about 4 foot to the top of tank water level. I let it run dry but not for long and there is no damage to the pump. A word of warning though to anyone who may consider doing this is that if the pipe carrying water into the tank is below the water line it will then reverse flow with the water siphoning back again. This could be catastrophic. This would only happen if the pump cuts off because of running dry. I have my pipe above the water line of the tank so if it does run dry there will be no back flow.
@@Hungry4Mor Yea good point!
Hi may i know whats the diameter for the outline pipe? Want to get this one also wants to prepare the airline tube that attached to the steel pipe . Thank you😊
I think it's 10mm but maybe 8 I'm not sure
do you have video on flame moss?
I don’t
Nice tricks and tip... nicely done sir.. 😊 hope you can post some more... please include me in your group. If you started now.. i am going to be a member in your group. 😊
Ok. Thanks
Hi I am new to this hobey can i know what are the name of the pant in aquarium?
There are two types of mosses I have in my tanks - Flame and fessidens
would this work for a 25% change on a 20 gallon
you can try, it's better to connect to usb cable ruclips.net/video/qZ2hyDJLWec/видео.html
how are there blue dream neo's in such soft water??? Dont they need much harder water? How can they shed properly with such a low KH? I also saw a photo of someone's tank recently that had blue dreams in with sulawesi shrimp! That's super hard water. Are they that adaptive?
Yea they are not very happy in such a soft water but unfortunately I don't have a perfect tank for them at this moment
Don't know if someone already said to you, but when you was doing the front glass saying not much space for scraper, so you use sponge. Try just using a Stanley Knife blade. They are cheap and sharp, easy to use. Give the glass a shave :)
Appreciate your advise will defiantly give it a go! Just need to wash it first I guess it comes quite oily when its new
@@ShrimpMania yeah they are a bit greasy. But soap and water can remove grease.
What bacteria and mineral powder did you used?
bacteria form tai cheng - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266500610826 no mineral powder
Will they survive with dechlorinated tap water?
Depends on your water quality but they wont thrive for sure
what size tubing do i need to connect to the spout
8mm I think not sure
can you use normal air lining for aquariums and just add tape to make it fit
@@motoglows this is what i did in the video
what’s that white tubing before it though?
Any reason why you don’t keep snails in your tank?
I'm not big fan of the snails, they breed too fast and overpopulate the tank very quickly so it would be a big job for me to constantly removing them from all my tanks.
Отличный насос.
Will they breed in a 5 gallon tank? and how many can i have in it?
It would be quite challenging to keep and breed caridina in small tanks because it would be difficult to keep stable parameters. I would recommend at least 10 gallon tank
@@ShrimpMania I ment neocaradina
How they are eat bacteria power?
Yes shrimps will eat some of bacterial powder
How often you put mineral powder and bacteria to the tank
Bacterial powder once a week after water change and mineral powder once a 2-3 weeks same after water change
Why are you adding more mineral powder when you already use Bee Shrimp minerals? I’m confused.
what bacteria powder are you using?

@@ShrimpMania any alternative to buy in Europe?
I had same result with SL Aqua Magic powder if you can get one
@@ShrimpMania ok Grate frend
Do you leave your lights on 24/7 that alge build up is insane for one month!! Turn the lights down pimp
wow just buy a mag float!!!
