My new japanese rock garden

[tang daddy]

thanks guys!!

Ol nobody the tree looking thing is my own creation, a piece of wood root straight from japan my buddy hooked me up with a few pieces of it boiled it down for 12hrs and attached a base rock to the bottom, then I used taiwan moss with black thread to attach it to the wood. My original intensions was a bonsai tree! I was trying to grow out the TM and prune but the more I look at it it's leaning to a weeping willow oh well.

Delphinus the time frame of the set up was about 1 week and has been running for about 3 now I added the crs shrimp after a week although my water is aged and cycled from my old tank I used new filter media as I didn't want any snails in this setup big mistake!!
The CRS-crystal red shrimp were expensive about 20 bucks a piece I got them from imisky, he breeds higher grade shrimp and I took 20 shrimp from him but as the substrate and filter media is new it's going threw a mini cycle and I lost about 10 shrimp no biggie for some, but 200 big ones for me dang anyhow lesson learned like a speeding ticket I'll be more careful next time.
