    What's up folk's. Its been a while since posting updates on my tanks. So here is the first one.

    Details:
    1ft tank
    ADA soil
    Populated by fresh water Shrimps
    Scaped with Dwarf hair grass
    Drift wood (Starting to grow some nice green alge on it)
    Dragon rock(Starting to grow some nice green alge on it)
    Carpeting plants mixed
    Internal filter (Sobo filter)
    a hang over light (I'll need to check what specs but think its 6500k globe)
    And lastly a smidge of moss on the driftwood

    That looks great for such a short time ... I am so itching to do a 1ft again is it so much fun, but that will have to wait a few weeks.

    Keeping pics rolling - watching progress is soooooo rewarding.

    Later Ferdie
