today i cleaned out my 13x8x8 which is my shrimp temporary home and put some aqua soil in and put my gravel in i made a little wall out of slate yesturday

now it ready for my lights, background, filter (hopefully the eden 501) and then plants.

i havent got any co2 yet but if i get a pressuized system for my big tank then it will

(the sponge filter or the plants arnt staying as its to get it going and hiding for the scrimps and the scrimps wont be staying as they will be getting put back in the main tank and new one will be put in here)

a few pictures (from my phone will get better ones when i get batterys for my digital cam!)
the hood needs a new lid as it was only stuff i had at the time

questions

what plants should i get (at the back the max height is 4 1/2 inches)
(at the front the max height is 5 1/2 inches but will be lower than the back so about 3 inches max)

any suggestion?

thanks for looking
