Lightbulb CRS Tank Journal (Warning - Picture Heavy) UPDATE: Babies!!

Well I want to breed some Crystal Red Shrimp for the sake of owning them and also for my other planted aquariums so I'm setting up a new tank in preparation for them and only them. I'm pretty excited! If you have some CRS you want to sell let me know, I'm looking for A - SSS grade depending on price but it will be a few weeks before the tank is ready for them. Just shoot me a PM.

I just set it up on the Thursday the 9th. Right now I have it planted with some

Limnophila aromatica (which I purchased from Jdinh04, Thanks!)
Micro sword
Glossostigma (I already see some growth in just 2 days!)
And a red lotus I completely forgot the name of, doh'

I am going to add some crypts around the piece of driftwood between it and the Micro sword. That way I will hopefully get a nice tier look going steadily downward from the LA to the Glosso.

So what I need is some input guys. Does this seem like a great place for CRS? I read up on CRS online and I want some second opinions. I also read that they can't handle the PH swing from the CO2. Is that true?

Specs:
  • Tank 20L

  • CO2 at 3-4bps
  • x2 6700k T5 bulbs and x1 colormax (pink) t5 bulb
  • Black Flourite (I'm going to get some more. I underestimated how much I would need.)
  • 30gal ZooMed canister filter(actually a really good quiet filter, I was surprised)
  • Temp is 78F
  • Hardness is about a 6
  • PH is between 6.4 and 7 depending if the CO2 is on or not.
  • Micro and Macro(minimal for now) fertz
  • I think that's it
