I like it. :)

Why does aquascaping have to be so serious?

No issues with castle's, I have a ornament in my crab tanks too...but I think if you're trying to creat a Iwagumi Aquascape, the castle ruins it....plus proportionately it doesn't work. More importantly, and the true reason was that I just wanted to stir up Gbang ! Hehe

Squiggle, I feel they're accumulating by the masses ....HELP !

I'm with BB, if he's trying to stir Gbang then it definitely has to go, lol :encouragement:

Nice work Mr. Gbang :)

Using mini pelia as a foreground is a pretty novel approach; I can't say I've ever seen it done before. You're a patient man to try it out. Do you have the pelia tied to something (rocks?). They might go walkabout and start floating off during photosynthesis.

The anal retentive aquscaper in me will have to agree with Bluebolt too, that castle has got to go lol :p

Anyway, you should go get some seachem Flourish (The comprehensive supplement one) and start dosing that into the tank - nice and easy. It has all the macro and micronutrients needed by the plants you have in that tank as they are rather undemanding with the exception of the Synoganthus belem which is a little more demanding (it may still struggle). Give it a shot and see how you go mate. Don't worry about the copper in the seachem, not enough in there to harm cherries.

I'm guessing the mother-in-law has more power over him than peer pressure, lmao :victorious:

      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.
