[Shrimpy]

Hi all, would like to share the progress of my nano shrimp tank that i am currently setting up.

Tank: Fluval Edge 23l 
Filtration: Aquaone hang on back
Lighting: 2ft Up Aqua LED
Hardscape: Bonsai wood, Cholla wood and mopani driftwood
Plants: 
 Taiwan moss
 Bucephalandra 
 Native Stringy moss

Livestock: 
Blue dream shrimp

Update # 1 : I have recently added the driftwood into the cycled water and am now waiting for the driftwood to sink. I have also added Salty Shrimp Mineral Gh/kh to remineralise the RO water. In addition, i have also added some bacteria powder to the tank.

Tank right now 

 

Update #2 ...
The tank has cycled and i have started to introduce the livestock, moss and bucephalandra.
 I have tied some bucephalandra "Red Jade" onto the bonsai wood and some native stringy moss onto the pieces of cholla wood and shrimp cave. Also have added a driftwood containing some taiwan moss. Looking forward to see how the plants develop as they become more established.

First inhabitants BLUE DREAMS !!!☺️

Thanks mate, the buce are also starting to develop reddish leaves which look great as a constrast to the green plants in the tank. Also very curious to see how the native stringy moss will grow.
