hi all, this is my first attempt in keeping shrimps. Wanted to start long ago but have problem with chiller. Today bought a new resun CL280 for my 2ft CRS tank... still in the process of cycling, here are some pics

overall tank view...did this in a hurry, so not very nice... still thinking of how i should change it. most of the plant/wood are leftover from my apisto tanks..

filtration + chiller setup

comments are welcome. got to learn from you guys

Iwagumi setups (Stone)

ADA layout

of course you can't get it exactly right off the bat
but the above two is quite good reference material for beginner

Nice setup, will look nicer once the plants flourish i am sure

Haha I keep thinking it looks like a battleground with castlewalls, cannons and amunition

I think CRS would prefer hidding in thick moss instead of pipings which is more a cray thing. So you may want to focus more on greenary.

A more uncluttered look will prob improve your viewing pleasure

Try to remove the random plants around.Like having one type of moss/plants on the mesh.Most importantly,have a focal point for other viewers to enjoy and slowly the viewers will look around the rest of the tank.

Get one hardscape if possible.

I placed all the old sea mud rock and mineral rocks near the inlet of the canni, hoping to aid in better water para, dont know will work a not
