Fluval EBI Tank

[Petah]

Hello everyone,

Here is my setup for the EBI tank.

The xmas moss is slowly growing in. Got some HC to carpet.
I forgot what kind of grass that is... anyone know?

Currently have 17 yellow shrimp in the tank.
So far, so good.

I forgot to mention the moss balls.

It looks like Vallisneria nana, but i could be wrong.

Best regards,

what happened to the Styrofoam background?

I didn't like the Styrofoam background. So it's in the box. Instead, i built two moss walls.
Just waiting for it to grow out.

Tidy, I originally started with a carbon fiber window screen from Home Depot ($10), but i read the 2mm mesh is too fine for the moss to grow through. So i used it as the backing and for the front, i went to Michael's for some needle point plastic mesh($0.80/each). I think it's 8mm.
Used fishing line to put it together($1.50 from Walmart). It's working fine with the fine mesh behind, so the shrimp can't get into the back. YOu can also get the suction cups from Home Depot. I think it's 2.50$ for 5. They come with a little metal hook, but i removed it.

Hope that helps.
