HC will be on the bottom level with EB on the top level and moss in the top of the trees..... thinking of something to make a hedge on each side of the stair case...

That's a very cool design, I like it a lot.

Just wondering if you checked to make sure the rocks themselves don't change any of the water parameters? or is it natural slate?

thanks guys... ok it is a foam base with tiles on it... I cut the foam to what i wanted keeping in mind the tils sizes so i did not have to muck around cutting too many tiles. Then gave the foam 4 coats ofa black water proofing pond sealer... Siliconed the tiles on then gave it 4 more coats of a clear pond sealer and had to let it sit for 7 days... Put it in the tank in place and filled it up with aqua soil then the water with no water ager or anything to let the chlorine clean the everything... Just put some water ager in and running till next week when i will drain everything and start again...

Wow great concept thanks for sharing, might have to try this myself. Look forward to seeing some more pics once it's aquascaped. What do you plan on planting it up with?

Was thinking hc on the front low section and EB grass stuff on the top with moss as the trees. But I hate HC and can never get it to grow so thinking changing to something else just not sure what...

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
