So wishlist: a stronger light for the 75g, more amano shrimp since mine keep vanishing into the hairgrass, and maybe finally a real sponge filter setup

Sits by the window where it actually gets some natural light in the afternoon, which the hairgrass seems happy about. Seiryu stone anchors it, guppies and a big crew of amano shrimp keep it busy, corys rooting around the substrate like always. Low maintenance most weeks, just a WC and moving on.

Moss and a couple sword clumps do most of the work here, nothing carved or fancy, just let it fill in on its own. Endlers and CPDs school around it now, jade shrimp pick through the moss most evenings. Grown in a lot since those bare-substrate days.
