20 Gallon Long

My first attempt at an Iwagumi-style tank with OEBTs and Bloody Marys. Really wanted to try Hemianthus callitrichoides again, but settled on dwarf hairgrass since I wanted to keep shrimp without injecting CO2. Dosing Flourish Excel, half-dose per day, but still slow growth after two months, since I'm also limiting my lighting to 6 hours per day to minimize green spot and hair algae.
