    Welcome to this weeks build video. I really wanted to make a simple aquascape that allows me to view and enjoy my shrimp, but still look stylish. I think I achieved this with the aquarium/aquascape I've created :)

    I really love this beautiful yet simple aquascape for a nano tank. Great idea to use only plants that grow on the decor and not in the substrate. Keeping the substrate to a bare minimum really helps give you the most water volume possible out of such a small tank. Amazing job, as usual!

But this looks so much easier & I love the aesthetic! I have health issues holding me back right now but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I’m going to do it as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your videos..

    I really enjoy watching your videos & a scape like this would be ideal for what I want to do with keeping shrimp, a quick question. I’ve been looking into keeping caradina shrimp (which is what you have in this tank) & been told that you need an active substrate to reduce your ph level. You don’t have any in your tank so wondering what your parameters are ph/GH/KH & what TDS are you keeping them in. Thanks.
