Hi guys,
recently setup my new 3 ft tank to house more crystal red shrimps.
This tank cycled for 3 weeks now.
Waiting for one more month before adding more CRS:joking:

That's a good start. Looks like you're adding in a moss(?)wall. Is that moss on the driftwood grown onto the wood, or is it simply tied until the moss attaches?

Very clean look. I like it!
Is that bush on the right also moss? (looks tall)

First class spacious shrimp accommodation, would expect them to increase and multiply in there. My shrimp would be jealous their one-foot tank looks like a little shack by comparison :).
The moss on the wood looks great what type is it?

The Wall at the background is Christmas Wall.
I have 3 piece of Drift Wood in the tank.
The first piece lying flat on the sand is US Fissiden.
The 2 piece of drift wood behind is tied with Spiky Moss.
The bush on the right is Taiwan Moss tied on Stainless Steel Mesh has been growing this bush for about 3 months.

Moss tied to the wood with fishing line. After a while I think the moss will cover the line and stick to the wood as well.

This time round seems that you got more patience to cycle the tank.....
CRS breeding project will be start soon in your tank....
How is your pregnant hino? Already saw shrimplets?:D
Last time i did try to setup the moss wall.
Initially looks great when it start to grow out from the mesh and looks evenly.
But after sometime the moss nearer to the lighting will grow faster than the bottom one. So maintenance of the moss will be quite tedious because there's shimplets in it. And shrimps will also hide behind the wall.
By the way what gravel are you using?

This time round going to start a All Hino 3 ft tank so better be patience.
The moss wall i create is using a mesh tied to light holder. So there are limited space for the shrimps to go into the wall once it starts to become a forest :D
Actually the water are ready for the shrimps now, the only think that stop me from getting the shrimps is that I am going for a holiday during DEC to HongKong. So will wait till I come back before I get the new shrimps.:rolleyes:
