| Ammonia, Nitrate/Nitrite are down to about .25 ppm. So I started setting up the tank. I have planted 3 betta bulbs, I have 2 fake plants and 2 plastic hiding tubes.

| ok, time to update... One of the betta bulbs has sprouted, one is trying to, and the other is dormant. I upped the lighting from a 5w bulb and added a high intensity lamp. my LFS is out of shirmp so they will have to wait.

| ok. Updates. I took out the hide tubes and put in a homemade airstone and one shrimp died and one had babies. The babies are in a grow out tank and are doing fine. I am feeding them one HBH crab and lobster bite each once a day and have already had molts from 2 of them!!
