This is really a stop-gap for the shrimp until the tank I want them in is cycled fully. I had these guys living in a tupperware tub for a few weeks. I went and bought geosystem(Hagen) for the substraight, added a fert stick somewhere down the middle.

Vase: 1.99
lamp: 4.00
Substraight: 6.99 (Lots left over)

I got the vase at Ikea as well as the lamp from the AS IS section.

Plants:

Glossostigma
Apongeton
Java Moss
Pellia
Cardamine Lyrata
Hygrophilia polysperma
Ricca fragments
water lettuce

I think that's it.

Hardscape
driftwood twigs
rock

Animal life:
cherry shrimp
Malaysian Trumpet Snails

I am so dead. I'll get pics later when the water fully clears.
