Stocking advice for a planted 92 corner tank

[Bunsen Honeydew]

I feel like I am getting close to being ready to add some shrimp. I had someone send me some (too much) naja grass for them to hide in. Hopefully it will be controllable. I just need to get the auto water change plumbing (consistency!) done in the sump, then I will find some cherry reds.

Well, najas looks good, so far. Just be ready to weed it out as needed. I like your tank!

I have just been stuffing it in the back, and netting the loose stuff.

Thanks, I like it too.

I finally feel like I have enough plants after receiving some nice Java ferns today. Need to let it grow out a little more, then tidy it up a bit.

I'm out of town this week, so I will try to get the sump plumbing finished this weekend, then maybe buy some shrimp in a couple of weeks.

Finally have the overflow on the sump plumbed and a close water outlet installed. Slowly transitioning from softened water to u softened. About a day and a half in and all is going well. I did notice that not long after seeing water on the drain, there was also some duckweed that the overflow ate.

A couple of days into the auto water change system and my tank is looking great. Water is super clear, and the light even looks brighter. Now I can see all of the maintenance I need to do.

Looking good!

What's the neon green piping? I don't remember seeing that before.

Lol, that's just a garden hose that I was using to make the python reach the display tank. It all gets coiled up and thrown under the utility sink, where the drain is.

Lol, I thought maybe it was like Pex, I could read "Flex...?)

Added 30 CRS juvies today, some Indian almond leaves, a couple pieces of Cholla wood and 3 wads of Java moss. I really need to do some maintenance, but I just sit and stare at this point.
