This tank was high light, co2, aquasoil, and NPK dosing. Also it helped to have soft SF water.

It depends on the hiding spaces available. Amano shrimp are larger so they will likely stand a better chance. Cherry shrimp reproduce fast, some will likely get eaten. But it's like getting free fish food. Even tetras and rasboras will pick off baby cherry shrimp.

Here is a picture of an old tank of mine.

I think you would have more of an issue with a Bolivian Ram than a typical apistogramma.

I don't think that will be much help. You are going to want the substrate deeper than that.

I definitely spent more time on maintenance on my planted tanks then I do with my current reef. Weekly trimmings were a pain in the butt. This is more of a problem with a high light/co2 planted tank with fast growing plants.

Yeah stay away from any encrusting montis.

I have a couple fighting conchs from Aquatic collection that has stayed the same size over a few years. Not sure on the actually type.

Do you have any more room left for sticks? haha Watch out for that sunset though, those encrusting montis are no fun when they get large.

With any connector you do create a constriction point. Not sure if this matters to anyone.

This is what I do.

I would also put the pump in or over the sump. This way there is no worry about catching the water after the ball valve when servicing.

There is no head pressure with a closed loop.

Or some nice apistogramma cichlids.

No I mean, Boun took them from my tank. I did not actually go to the swap.
