So I took down my 55 gallon Truvu high tech tank. It was just too much work with a baby, school, and work. I downsized to a Mr Aqua 60p. Since I live in a condo, I can have only 1 tank at a time. I transferred all of my fish and shrimps to a 5 gallon bucket with an air pump and kept them in there for 2 days while I redid everything.
I bought a Mr. Aqua 60p size tank with matching stand. By the way, ADA in SF has matching stands for this tank so I didn't have to get an Ikea Besta. The Besta is lower and no openings for equipment.
I replanted everything that was suitable for low light and dumped some of my fish and shrimp back in and gave the rest away. I know the tank hasn't had time to fully cycle so I placed my trust in Seachem's Stability and Prime. It worked like a charm, no losses and it's been a week.
Just after setup:
Cherry shrimp (can someone tell me if this is a male or female?):
