Update on the tank. That little patch of baby tears on the right has Ballooned into a jungle and spread all along the entire side of the tank.

Its all good, even planted tank folks disagree most of the time what it exactly is lol.

[ptran]

It's actually not moss. It's called subbwassertang. Some sort of micro algae. Looks cool. They are red cherry shrimp.

Lol my bad

Common: Subwassertang
Scientific: Lomariopsis cf. lineata

Here is a decent site explaining what it is exactly

Looking good. Those moss growing fast. What kind of shrimp are those?

[agamberutti]

Shrimp were added today. Thanks Roy. They love them some Kens veggie flake.

Update.

Looking good Adam, it turned out great. I like how you used the river pebbles to separate the substrates. Very clean

Thanks Austin. Still need a few more stones. Not quite happy with the plants and placement. Need to drain a bit of water and super glue the plants on the top to make it look more like a tree. Want to add some carpeting plants around the sides to make it look like grass. It's getting there though.

Sounds great. Please keep the updates coming.

Thats an awesome setup for school kids. The only thing that bothers me is the open top. I know how my two kids were/are. I hope your kids enjoy the aquarium, and enjoy learning all it has to teach them!

Thanks we have already talked about rules n expectations with the tank. I have a good class so I'm not to worried. will be adding the shrimp next week.
