Great aquascape, it will look great with corals

Congrats on the baby! Thanks for the update, I am looking forward to more pictures. It all looks great so far.

Looks incredible, the coloring is awesome!

In my HOB I took my filter pad and carbon out and added purigen and an extra bag of ceramic rings. I have a filter pad on my intake to keep the big particles as well as baby shrimp out. U

I haven't had to clean out a tank that bad but I think most people say plain vinegar and elbow grease work best. Good Luck! Let us see how it all turns out.

Dr. Fosters and Smith is one that sells new tanks

I use prime in my shrimp tank. They are healthy and still reproduce regularly.

Has the pistol and YWG paired up yet? Many will say you don't need a clean up crew and that they are just for looks. Others prefer them so it is really up to you. Don't get too large a cuc because many will starve. I don't know much about lighting but you should look up rapidled.com. They make...

I like the arches and openings in the rock

Reefs2go.com has a buy one get one free deal on pods right now.

Red cherry shrimp are easy to care for and reproduce quickly. As long as you have enough hiding spots the shrimp will still reproduce. Guppies will eat baby shrimp but if you have enough cover the colony will still grow.

Most the places I have seen are really expensive. Old town aquarium has red cherries for $7 or $8 a piece! I bought mine from eBay and aquabid for less than a dollar each. Schaumburg has a place called Aquarium Adventure which is large and has many nice tanks both fresh and salt. It's worth it...

Are there fish in the tank? Most will eat the tiny shrimp but if you have lots of hiding places and plants some will survive. In an established tank with plants the baby shrimp don't need any special care. They will find food on the plants, substrate and glass. I would also put a sponge or...
