Smile My shrimp journey...

Hi all, would like to share the joy of setting up my tank for shrimps. Here are the pics!

The stuff for the tank


Custom-made acrylic base to drain the condensation off the external walls of the tank


Laid the foam base that came with the tank


Placing the tank after washed and cleaned


The key players before the soil is added

Sprinkled BeeMax


Thin layer of soil followed by Mosura Old Sea Mud(not shown)


The pipings and Otto bubble stopper


Got the prefilter, had a bad experience with a brand new APA prefilter and had to go back to the shop to change


The soul of the setup


Voila!

Hope you guys have enjoyed the pics! Are there any other products that is/are a must-have to keep the shrimps? I'll be getting a TDS meter soon. In case you guys are wondering, I'll be keeping PRL CRS in here

Agreed, test kits are fairly important especially during the tank set up period.
