10 Gallon Shrimp Tank

The tank is in its 2nd week of cycling and should be ready to add shrimp/ fish in this weekend. I am shooting for some RCS or OEBTs. I am also looking for some rock to do a iwagumi scape and adding more plants in sometime this week. Its in the process of making a carpet of HC. No CO2 and high lighting. I am going to switch out the filter to an internal one with a spray bar sometime this week or next.

Oh you know just some shrimp eaters. just kidding. I was thinking of maybe some neon tetras or a nice betta.

Anybody know what this white thing is? Its been growing on my sand and every time I vac it out it seems to just keep coming back. Its white and it grows on the sand and when I vac it, it sticks to the sand so I have to pull out some sand with it.

I am not sure but white things might be dead algae. I clean my drift wood with hair algae with hot water. The hair algae die and turns white.

The algae just grows as is. It was not a previous color. I am going to attempt to switch out my play sand to either eco or black sand this weekend.

I forgot to mention the eco or black sand will be a cap to my dirt.
