Thanks for looking

Wow! That moss wall is awesome. I don't think I've ever seen one that nice. Great job!

Many thanks, the wall was created using a plastic mesh and then the moss was attached to it using cotton thread, used Weeping Moss on the Wall.
Here is a photo of the mesh before the tank was filled up:

HOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...SHIZZLE, thats amazing!!!

Very nice shrimps and beautiful setup Have to say, I personally prefer the look of lower grade Crystal Red shrimps

Can you post some specs of the tank? I love the lush green mosses (which is something I can never grow ) Oh, and what kind of plastic mesh is that you are using?

Many thanks, I got this lower grade cheap just to try them out, trying to get better grades, will see how these do in the tank.

Very nice pics. Wonderful.

Thanks Paul

Just a quick update, things are growing nicely on this tank, earlier in the week I moved this tank to the new cabinet and its settled quick nicely. Only been dosing 5ml per week of TPN+ and EC, lets see how this does. Haven't added any more shrimp to the tank, still hoping to get some Red Nose and some Sulawesi, maybe later in the week. Have also some good news about the CRS, see photos below.

Comments and critics always welcome, thanks for looking

Wow!!!

I have been lent a Nikon 60mm 1:2.8 Macro lens and i'm not getting shots anywhere near as good as yours!!!

I'm using my Nikon D70s, shooting in JPEG Large files. I'm impressed.

If you know, can you let me know speeds and apature your shooting? Also high or low ISO!

I've only got the lens for a week so want to get some pics!!

Now i have to start my own thread, but my shots are not quiet as good as yours!!!

Simon

I can only dream about a mossy tank like that Congrats on the berried CRS.

Are you going to put Sulawesi shrimps in the same tank?? Thought that they require quite different parameters to the CRS

Really fantastic shots, beautiful shrimp and tanks!
