Made this on the weekend, rimless, star fire, ADA style tank and cabinet.

There's nothing I can add as the heading says it all, this is from a guy named Herry Rasio, great work!

Hi guys. Just sharing some photos for my taitibees. Enjoy :)

Will be there! Good to see the club coming together! We have a couple of SKF shirts on offer as door prizes too! Hopefully we get a good turn out from Vic!

That's fantastic news Jen, glad to hear it's working out!

Thanks Newbreed :-) It looks like they are all berried again now and there are little red shrimplets everywhere! I added a little bit of the mineral powder after you left and I topped up their tank yesterday and added the Bee shrimp + gh to the water that went in and there all still alive! One of the crystals that had lost most of his color has his white bands back again and instead of slinking around the one piece of wood, he's scurrying and swimming around everywhere. Even some of the Cherrys are looking redder.

Hey Jen, I am known to be a little slow at times and three things have occurred to me that may be not helping the issue. 1. I can't remember what the shrimp house was made of, with the subwassertang in the front, was it stone, wood or ceramic? If stone, it could be a source of buffering up the ph. 2. I noticed the intakes and rain bar of your filter but didn't check it out. What kind of filter and flow rate is it? 3. It surprises me that with your tap water at 7ph that the substrate, with such a good level, isn't buffering it down more. On the fluval packs it suggests to wash the substrate in tap water before using, did you do this? I believe it can reduce the ability of the soil to buffer if rinsed prior to going in. I am thinking it could be assisted by adding some Fulvic Grain maybe, depending on others feedback on this. I am sorry not to have asked you these things and paid more attention on my visit, but I was distracted by how well planted the tank is and how healthy all the cherries are going. Cheers

Here's another stunner from a German breeder Farschad Farhadi, enjoy & try not to drool on your keyboards, lol. :encouragement:
