the equipment came today i waiting for the ehiem 2215 to arrive should be tonight to plumb it together before taking some pictures of the big tank ...
i checked the co2 in the tank it was blue which is not enough co2 but today i getting a huge bottle of co2 just waiting for the reg to come tomorrow and that should solve that problem
the hc in the nano is growing well i remove the nurient sucker since the plants were going well i changed the co2 too since that DIY was giving very little co2.
since the last time i posted the hc picture its grow on plant around 4cm+ which i am pround of plus as you can see in the picture it growing as a ground cover not going up wards

I really like the hardscape of the rocks, I can imagine it with a nice bit of greenery around it.

And graheme just though you might like to know that i got some shrimp from livefish.com.au, and there was no quarantine issues,. well that is to say they got here. Not rubbing it in your face or anything mate :wink: just though you might be interested. mind you they were pricey.

Ant, were they the long-armed shrimp or the regular glass shrimp? I am assuming you got the long-armed as they are pricey. And glass shrimp are available locally. Did all the shrimp survive?

I like it so far
Can i give you a idea to try?
Grab some fast growing plants and use them as a nutrient sink until the tank stabilises.
ADA substrates have a bit of a reputation of releasing high amounts of ammonia until the tank is fully cycled.
Ambulia is one i have used before ( fast growing and easy to toss out after)

and btw skittles they get cheaper if you buy more. And im not saying bad stuff about vebas now, but ring before you go, the shrimp sell out fast, and also get about 40, spend up a big $8. because i an guarantee you that some will die, if you keep the temp at around 25, some should be okay and adapt, but expect some deaths, and ironically some babys, im almost certain that mine bred, there seems to be much more smaller shrimp around.
