New nano shrimp tank

[Ruke]

Hi I already have a aqua nano 40 with fish and shrimps planted and fancy trying my hand at proper shrimp tank. So got donated a free tank and got some stone and gone for an outcrop look. What are your thoughts

what kind of shrimp are you going for as that rock will probably raise tds.

CRS and the rock is seiryu stone

Interesting tank. What's the mesurements on this?

I think the scape will look better if the grooves in the rocks follows each other thou.

Seiryu stone will increase the hardness of your water so is not good for crystal shrimp. Have a look at the likes of ADA Sado-Akadama rock, i have it in a shrimp tank and the colour/markings are gorgeous. You need inert rock, especially in such a small tank.

Have to agree with lindy, cardinia species won't appreciate fluctuations in water params, neocardinias should be more tolerant, nice layout though.

I like the absinthe bottle back ground personally!

On a more serious note I like the hardscape.

Luke you need to add a picture with the plants added. How are the plants doing? I have planted your cuttings. Cheers mate.
