Having had my tank sit empty for a couple of years over lockdown it was time to get it back up and running and start breeding shrimp again.
I had a load of old drift wood, dragon stone and bits of pieces in the cupboard and some wood in an active nano tank and decided to use this for a woody and tannin rich stream scape.
I have a base of fluval stratum at the back of the tank, some large flat slate like gravel and then on top black volcanic gravel, some of the slate comes up to the top and looks natural with the smaller stuff.
First image here is weekend one week in after letting the tank run in a bit and after the first batch of plants arrived, still looking dusty (some of this was a bit of a bacteria bloom).
