Just alittle bit of DIY work with the acrylic tool stand, I used the 3M stuff to stick in the cabinet instead of using the screws.

You can hang it inside the cabinet

Or you can take it off and hang it on the side of the tank.

Very nice tank and equipment :applause: This tank is going to look awesome with all the new shrimps products you have.

Just added some moss into my tank during the week, growing well so far and I've got a couple of testing shrimp in there. I am really happy to say my tank is at 25.5'c in a 37'c hot day today without chiller or air-con and with the light on :)

[Gbang]

omg that tank looks so cool!

[Loach]

Love all the shrimp on that ada light :)

[Kitz]

I guess it's time to update, my tank is still not in the best condition, all test shrimp seems to be fine after the 43'c yesterday. I had the light on for too long last few days and Algae start growing out therefore I bought a timer to set on 6 hours light per day and it seems to be under control now :)

Loving the moss rock features :)

[Kitz]

Loving this blue shrimp that was given by a mate :) I can watch it all day long lol

Also I would like to share with you all my filter system, I've choose to use both powerhouse S & M type media and the manufacture claims that the Surface area for S type 1620m2/L and M type 1060m2/L. I am pretty happy with it so far and I've been doing top up only. I will be adding another Eden 511 as pre filter n heater to my filter system. What I want to achieve with this tank is to hold as many shrimp as I could with limited space in this 2ft tank. As you can see in the picture below, I've took out the filter blade n parts to improve the waterflow.

End up screw in the tool holder as the 3M thingy wasn't strong enough to hold it lol.

My moon walking bb shrimp.

Changed from up aqua to benibachi soil due to the fact that you can't keep TB with up aqua soil.

[Squiggle]

Looks very cool dude, love the moonwalking BB :victorious:
