類ADA 玻璃出入水口 ADA-like Glass Lily Pipe

等了一個禮拜,eBay上買的東西終於寄來了。
The pack ordered from eBay has finally arrived after a week wait.

仿ADA玻璃出水口。
ADA-Like Glass Lily Pipe. 

為了搭配EDEN 501的9/12管線尺寸,特別找了小號的。有貨的賣家還真不多。
To match EDEN 501 9/12 tubing, had to spent fair bit of time to find a seller who has stock in small size.

不知道是不是水位不對,並沒有看到ADA正廠會製造的小漩渦。
Don't know if I haven't got the water level right, couldn't see the whirlpool that real ADA makes.

不紅的玫瑰蝦 "Not so Cherry Red" Cherry Red Shrimp

好久沒有照顧這批蝦子、顏色都慢慢跑掉了。
With lack of care, the Cherry Red Shrimps are no longer in nice rich red colour.

發色狀況很差。
Kinda yellowy.

最紅的也不過就這樣。
The most red ones amongst.


相較之前有照顧的火紅色、真的還滿慘的。
Compare to the flame red colouration few generations ago, they look pretty bad.

買了高夠力(Hikari)的蝦專用飼料試試看,先把蝦養肥了再慢慢來挑基因吧。
Bought this Hikari Shrimp Cuisine that provides special diet and nutrition, see how it works. Soon will have to start to select the ones with better colour genes.

設缸 Day 1


枯山水試驗作,看看有沒有機會丟去參加ADA。 這次嘗試了沒用過的草種禾葉挖耳草 (utricularia graminifolia)。 如果失敗了在考慮用比較熟悉的迷你矮珍珠吧。

An experiment of Karesansui in the 1.3 inch Nano Tank, see if I could get a place in ADA contest. Trying UG (utricularia graminifolia) in this layout, and hope it survives. Otherwise I still got HC as backup if it fails.
