WOW! That is a lot equipment for a small tank, you are certainly dedicated to the cause! You must appreciate then that it is better to start off with a reasonable size tank as I hate to think what expense would be involved to then want to get a bigger setup and have to buy everything again? I started with an old 15L as I was trying an all new way, due to my many previous unsuccessful attempts, but have definitely now mastered it! The shrimps have great colour, do you know what the babies are yet or aren't they coloured yet? I quite like having the mixed tank as you never know what the babies will turn out to be? Hope the shrimplets do well and colour up nicely. Love the madagascar lace plant! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I tried taking some of mine today with a view to uploading those at some point soon, if they are of good enough quality and not all blurred as I didn't use a tripod! I counted 44 blue bolts this morning, they are definitely the most populating that tank. I am curious as to the need for the UV light or Co2, is that for the madagascar lace plant? I'm just keen to learn more about the planted tanks but have never tried anything exotic. Keep up the good work. Simon

Here are the photo's of the tank and my equipment, and shrimps. My bee, somehow the eggs are gone and a few shrimplets are swimming, but they are not red and white. Top of my tank, I have cleared away more of the floating plants, they will grow back in a few days. Two of the three Blue Bolts. Full view of the tank, but not a pretty site. My Fluval Bluetooth LED light with dust to dawn function My UV light at the back of the tank, with water flow from the cooler and back to the tank My cheap USD40 30L water cooler, enough for a 16L Nano tank like mine, need a larger one if the tank is bigger. My intense Co2 system.
