Hi there,
How is your Metaframe tank doing? I love these stainless steel frame tanks. Did you end up getting any shrimp?

Thanks guys, I'm thinking about going to the LFS tomorrow to see what they have for shrimp. I might just be picking up cherries for my walstad bowl, but we'll see. I have some planaria in this aquarium that have so far survived my doses of "no planaria." I also have this algae that is really pissing me off and wants to suffocate my UG.
I'll try and take pics tomorrow.

Before Trim/Cleanup:
![]() After: ![]() This view looks pretty much the same, except for there is less downoi due to some initial melting.. Hoping it will settle in now. ![]() The algae that sticks to my UG/gravel. It pulls the UG up when I try to suck it out ![]() And a different view just because not much has changed and this update feels boring. ![]() I bleached the heck out of my driftwood because the amount of BBA on it was making me uncomfortable. Don't mind the rock weighing it down. I tried the LFS today. All they had was one lonely CRS and not even any cherries. Guess I'll try ordering them from a member (it's cheaper anyway).

It's been a while. I largely ignored this tank after a couple failed attempts with shrimp and CO2. I will no longer attempt that combo except for maybe with cherries.
Excuse the lackluster appearance of some of the plants. ![]() ![]() Sorry.. realized this was blurry. ![]() Acrylic lid for the new inhabitant, Sir Galahad.
