Nice set up man! I like the layout! I'm going with a C. Parva foreground in my 20L PFR tank, if I can find the stuff...Ive been shopping for it at least 3 weeks now. Any plans to de-rim the tank? I've been reading about derimming an already running tank, not sure I want to do it yet. Although I've got another 20L sitting around that will get derimmed prior to being set up.
I totally understand second thoughts on the higher grade shrimp. I just lost a bunch of PFRs due to water quality problems. Switching from tap to RO water now. Definitely not in a rush anymore to setup the next shrimp tank.

Update:
The tank is now cycled. You can see the mini pellia coming in nicely on all the rocks. The willow moss that i thought all but died during the DSM is popping back up on the DW. I also added a couple patches of flame moss in the back there.
I have yet to add the c. parva. Its doing so nicely in my other low tech tank that i would hate to shock it by moving to this tank. BUT i did buy it for this tank....
Here are a few pic right after the last "cycle" WC
Beautiful setup! I like how it slopes down toward the middle with the two hardscape organizations (right word choice there?) on the side. Can't wait to see how it turns out with livestock. I just set up a 2 gallon CRS habitat too, but haven't made a tank journal yet. I'm gonna try to make it tonight or so.
This is nice ! except for those fake looking logs of wood. I would also add some waterproof LED lighting on tip there with blue/or green nuances to make it look like a dark fortress.I would also suggest you add some floating plants, dont quite know the name but some are very small and some look like water lilies, you know just to give it a more natural look.

LOL, those fake looking logs of wood are cholla wood. Its what all the cool shrimp keepers use Ha ha. It grows bio film and other micro organisms that the shrimp will graze on.
thx. actually that is not the best looking flamingo that i have. my other is SUPER compact and has about twice the leaves. Ill text you a pic of it tomorrow.
just a basic 36" aquarium fixture with a zoo med bulb.
my other flamingo is in my 55g with a single T5 bulb.
thx Nick. CRS are doing awesome and have about doubled in size. They are at maturity now i am guessing, now to see if i can get them to breed in the conditions that i am keeping them in.
And the flamingo in this tank. All its original leaves melted last week and this is the new growth. Odd thing is that the melting was after MONTHS in this set up????:icon_roll
