My Humble Shrimp Tank

[redsuns]

Hi Guys, just wanna share my humble shrimp tank which I finally completed setting up today( got some ideas from looking around the forum and the slope idea from a bro in another forum). Feel free to comment and give me some advice for improvement. Its currently cycling...

Enjoy!

Taller object is usually better for the background rather than in the front espe
cially when your tank is rectangular in shape.
For your current design, I think it works better in a square shape tank.

I like color of the rock(looks like a volcanic rock to me) that you used for your moss. It stand out and make the tank less boring.
The only offset is that your tank and water level is so much higher than your main display piece.

I am not so sure about that cluster of pebbles but you can keep a couple for foreground display.
Am not a fan of java moss as they are messy and stand out a lot.

What kind of shrimp will you be keeping?

Thanks for the comments bro! The moss on the lava rock is whipping moss and the other on top of the slope is fissiden according to the lfs I got from..

I would be keeping low grade CRS for this tank and prob some FRS too..

hey i think you can remove the dw where there is flower like grass looking plant on it. it is said to be GU JING, but its fake. now i only see the real one recently at seaview. the real gu jing will have shoot coming out from the centre all the way up. hope you know which im talking about.
