Nice tank tofuboy, however a small piece of early warning. That DAZS breeder box I see, with the removable side cover, the rubber suckers are horrible and will lose their suction power very fast. My advice is to find replacement suckers ASAP, or that box will eventually sink and land on your plants.

Hi all! Thanks alot for the comments, im still considering adding more plants in there to make the tank look more lush, initially wanted to go for the iwagumi look, but in the end starting keeping shrimps, so threw that idea away and introduced the mosses.

You are spot on, my rubber suckers already gave way, im using the light and edge of the aquarium to support it. Horrible rubber suckers in my opinion!!

yeah i do dose co2, but not at a very high rate. Shrimps appear to be fine, looks healthy and are very active. The plants also seem to do fine at the rate of bubble injection, no pearling but green and growing fast, so i kept it that way and never increase it.

very nicely done up bro...
i did my 2ft tank with plants, co2 emission with fertilizer input too.. shrimps seems fine but moderate the input of fertilizer for me...

but right now for me, my tank is still maturing, but at least i see my HC growing and creeping now.. all the best to your tank!!
