Interesting setup, I'll be curious to see how it grows in.

One thing that bothers me though is the way the tank is resting on it middle with the ends hanging over the edges of the stand/table. From the design of the tank, from what I can see, it looks to need the corners sitting on a proper surface and not dangling off the edges.

Get a wooden plank to support the whole tank. It will be safer that way. Good luck!

When the plants flourish, covering the mesh it will look very nice :)

I suggest you make sure your plants are growing very well first before you add shrimps. Because after that, if you want to aquascape or add/remove plants here and there will stress the shrimps. I know it is painful to wait but that's the best way for your shrimps. :D:D

And 28-29 degrees is very high for shrimp keeping. I suggest u add a fan to keep it at 23-26? :)

Yeap will loook nice when the plant florish. Also try get all the conditions correct before you add any shrimp. Now it is the best to wait and have the tank properly cycled.

Bro, don't say that. You got a huge stable set-up! Your shrimps are like so stable and happy in there, that you got so many pregnant shrimps! And of course by now you should have quite a handful of shrimplets swimming in your set ups. :D
