Well on my second attempt to find the stand that has been suggested, I was successful. Just finished setting it up, and am messing around with the 'scape a little bit. With this stand being taller than the stand with the light, I am now able to get the light about 2 inches from the water, which makes the tank much much brighter. Will try to get some pictures posted tonight

Sounds like you won't have 5 panes of glass and a bunch of water on the floor!

Lets see your new pictures.

Cool tank and stand. I think you should still get a cushion placed under your tank to protect your precious one. A garden mat, styrophor o anything that can cushion your tank against your stand. You are winning with your yellows

Thanks for posting 4fihmi. I was thinking the same thing, and hope to find something nice to put under the tank soon. And I am very happy with my yellow shrimp's growth. I am also breeding these with my brothers yellow shrimp.

Heres his tank:

We are hoping to get good genetic diversity by choosing two different sellers shrimp. If all goes well, after our populations grow we will post some for sale in the Swap and Shop.

For what it is worth, I use a material that is used for under workout equipment. Can buy it in rolls at Academy and such. It is black and just blends into the environment. I cut it as close to tank size as possibe, then take a shop knife and really define the edges once you put the tank on it & fill with water. Stress fractures in tanks can be devastating and it happens!!!!

Nice tank!!!!
