Looks good Luke, is that my HM I can see in there?

Sure is .. I tried what you recomended with it in individual strands, but i was damaging the plant by separating them and plus they seem to be growing really well. Its in 3 clumps left, left/rear, right. My shrimp love it.. Thanks for sending it.

Looking really good, Luke!! I love the shrimp

A black background will really pull it all together. It makes a huge difference. I recently tried a product called "ocean visions". It's great as it sticks to the back of the tank. I got it at the LFS but I'm sure you could order it online.

Cheers Squirrel.. i can't wait for my cherry shrimp to grow, its near impossible to see them at the moment lol..
I've had a look for backgrounds, and i've found one from the uk http/www.aquatics-online.co.uk/Z142296.asp#product920 the penn plax, and the interpret ones 1/4 way down.
Can't find the ocean visions one from any UK retailer, but i did find them on a US website.
I'm going to order this one now though :
