Thanks, it's got a bit of everything in it! I got new wood for the new tank so this was all leftovers. I'm actually quite pleased how it turned out but looking forward to everything growing in.

My 5Gall RCS tank. I know, with the benefit of hind sight I shouldn't have used a red coloured gravel. It wasn't a planned tank I just had some cat litter and all the hardware lying about and thought I'd knock something together to experiment with shrimp. When numbers get too high I put some in my main tank but I have a female Krib in there from a previous set up which is partial. Doesn't' get them all though, just before lights off I see four or five starting to make their way out from cover. 🙁

When the Krib dies I was hoping to get all (best I can anyway) the RCS into the main tank and try another variety of shrimp in this one, probably CRS. Or, I may strip this down and use the hardware on an Aqua-one cube I was given with some proper dark shrimp substrate in. Before that I was planning to carpet some plants which should show up the shrimp better but this setup is on my office desk and I rarely get to work on it with being away on site most of the time.

Once a week a 40% water change with de-chlo tapwater, very soft at source in fact no measurable hardness. Co2 through diffuser with FE about 1bps and pps-pro dosed whenever I feel like it 😀 I could probably do nothing with this tank and it would look the same. I do it just to feel like I'm involved in some way. :facepalm:

Full tank shot, ultimately better than staring at a spread sheet or a cliché motivational poster.
