10 gallon rcs tank build and progression

[Fishandmusic81]

Ok so this started as a hermit crab tank for about a year but I decided to make it into a RCS tank
Here are some pics of how it started and the final build
I'm still seeding media from my other tank to cycle this tank

[Fishandmusic81]

For the last pic that's all I'm gonna add
But i could still re arrange
I'm open to any suggestions or ideas
Thanks guys

Looks nice. If you want later you could get some Xmas or Flame Moss and tie it to the wood. That would look nice.

And I think you need one nice Crypt

Crypts are slow which is good when your tank is 10g. I have C wendtii Mi Oya, C lucens and C retrospiralis in my Shrimp Jungle ( vid and pic links below ) I have other Crypts in my rimless 10g.

10 might be better, but you can always add more later to add in fresh bloodlines.
