Yeh I am not 100% sold on using glue- it worked great for the mosses but I used untreated hemp cord for the plants- by the time it degrades the plants should be holding on themselves.

Well…. the water in this tank is rain water from the roof of our house- it goes into a concrete underground tank. I know it’s safe for Neos but I don’t keep track of the numbers. In the years it has run, despite the algae and lack of maintaining this tank the shrimp have always been breeding and healthy. I guess it’s part of the rationale for the tank- the water is local and it just is what it is. As to your question I hope that the new stonework is covering a lot of bare aquasoil where plants had failed and will provide surface area for grazing so hopefully overall benefit to water parameters. I will get numbers for you at next visit to lfs.

Interesting new look @Subtlefly. It would be interesting to see what the tank looks like after a few weeks, when the rocks don't look so "clean" anymore. With all the additional rocks, do you notice any change in water parameters?
