Well it’s time for 6am lights on. 
Riccia is starting to grow through the mesh.
Neons just hanging out.
I’m planning on leaving them in here. If the Red Cherries can survive the Khuli’s and Rainbows in my main tank the Orange one should be able to make it here.
Since I removed the Tahitian Moon Sand I haven’t lost a snail. The Amanos are doing well too.

Java Fern. Giant mutant Java fern.
It’s tied to a 1/2 piece of slate and it goes to the top of the tank.

We have shremp! Pick up day moved up to today. Drip acclimated for 1 1/2 hours. They are all over checking things out. Anywhere in size from a bit under 1/2” to close to 3/4”. 
18 of them in total. Keeping my fingers crossed they thrive!

Great going - they look everywhere!
So pretty!
I have been using Cobalt Coral Food, Interspersed with other feeding and my shrimp are doing very well. Saw the improvement after starting to feed using the frozen food. Rotifers and Cyclops too from Hikari I believe.

Moved 6 Neons out of here today to my 29. Will keep catching and moving until all 20 are in my Maine tank. I pulled the CPDs out of the 30L Biorb. Now that they are mature the tank is too small. I’ve lost 2 of the 6. Once all the Neons are moved I’ll add more. Of the 18 shrimp I will see 1 or 3 at night. They are hiding in the plants or the Neons ate them. Oh well. 
The Riccia is growing. Slow and steady.

That Riccia is coming in nicely.
Shrimp hiding maybe?

I think so. I had the 20 Neons In There for QT and got all of them moved yesterday. I saw a few out foraging. I think they came from a tank without fish so they were being cautious.

Took all of the surviving Red Cherry shrimp out of my main tank and moved them in here. I hardly ever see the orange. I took the CPS’s out of the Biorb and moved them in. Honestly I am tired of babying shrimp. If they live fine. If not. Sorry. 
Java is pearling like crazy today.
Riccia is growing well.
Shrimp and snail cruising.
CPS’s are enjoying the larger space.

Really is inspiring - got me very tempted on a better planted tank.
