Currently I'm keeping about 20 shrimps in a 2gal cylinder and I thought they need a new home, so here comes the Aquastyle 4

Beautiful Tank! It sits on top of a mini Fluval edge stand. I saw a picture a while back of someone doing a stair with his tank and liked it so much that I decided to copy :icon_smil


Substrate: eco complete $31! none of the local fish stores had it so I had to drive 30 miles to get it .. didn't want to wait for shipping

Rocks: $1.99 for big piece of slate and broke it in small pieces for the stairs

Plants: Anubias tied on rock, Dwarf Hair Grass from PetSmart (got a bunch left for my Fluval Edge tetra tank)

Driftwood

Aquatek Mini CO2 regulator is on the way

Couldn't keep the Staurogyne repens planted in the substrate so I stuck it in the little crack on the driftwood.
(There's also a nice stream of bubble coming up from the anubias leaf!)




Also Tank progress after 3 weeks:



Starting to see some algaes in there, so many it's time for some snails or maybe a small algae eater .. hope the DHG don't get uprooted

Happy shrimps


Tank shot from above:


Are these PFR or just regular RCS? LFS sold to me as RCS but they're super red



There were 2 deaths but water parameters tested out ok. Hopefully the berried RCS will replenish the population.
