Alright time for a little update...
Not too much has changed. Everything has grown quite a bit though, besides that damn near impossible jungle val! I need to get a heater for the tank since the old one isn't stable whatsoever so tonight I'll be placing an order at Drs. Foster and Smith for that and a few more things.
I also rigged up a device to keep my babies out of the filter, and to make a nice spot for the shrimp to eat from. I got a aqua clear sponge and a filter media bag, Since everyone says either one works better, I decided to use both

The sponge looks a bit porous but the bag doesn't look like babies could get in. So Hopefully the combination will be good. And it was really easy to make!
Pictures coming later tonight, not dark out yet*.
