Thanks to bro koji, had a hard time trying to upload the pics..

Yups agreed, felt that the front not enough space, but didnt want to remove the plant at the back cos i wanna utilize the upper portion of the tank for the shrimps..

some specs
tank in commission for ard 6 mths, started off with 8 shrimps
using GEX silm filter L, with SS wire mesh filter guard
occasional dose of musora old sea mud powder
Air con cooled to ard 25 degree celsius
using seachem excel

I am abit concern that the weak filter does not provide enough dissolved oxygen, esp when the light is off and theres no photosynthesis. For now it seem ok but as the shrimp population grows iam abit worried.

it's fire red shrimps. snails are assassin snails, for pest (pond snail) control and also clean up crew
