Thanx for sharing bro. Am considering setting up a shrimp room at home thus these does come in handy. Can use them as reference

I am just trying to figure out if I should buy individual canister for each tank, or what other filter system should I use. Should I be getting custom tank and stand or buy 2nd hand sets, etc...

actually not difficult to setup.
the problem most of us have is getting the permit from home minister. being able to have a dedicated room using aircon will save from having to buy chillers too.
on the running cost issue, if the shrimps breed well... definitely will become a no issue

Utility bill for running 24hrs inverter aircon is cheaper than running 3 chillers (or even as little as 2 chillers). My total utility bill for single person staying, aircon bedroom every night, including sanitry and refuse is abt $55/mth.

That means only abt $44 for water and electricity. Water taking up abt $14 (round figure) and $30 for electricity, which includes kettle (once a week), washing machine (twice monthly), fridge, tv (1.5hrs a day), vacuum (weekly), etc, and aircon. Think my aircon is only taking about $20 a mth max.

Thus my guess is, if I were to run air-condition (inverter) for a shrimp room, 24/7 at 26 degrees, it shdn't cost me more than $50. Each chiller for a 4ft tank is expected to chalk up abt $20-30 in utilities.

That is why I am seriously considering a shrimp room. It makes economical sense to run a shrimp room if I keep about 3 x 4ft tanks or more. Thus I need advice from our guru
