So here is a little update. The tank has been up for about 3 weeks or so now and has a few more plants in it, as well it's fair share of tannins from the wood that leached out but what can you do, in a few months it will be clear again, just didn't boil them long enough I guess.
A few more occupants have made a home in the tank as well. Now up to 15 Amano Shrimp, 3 SAE's and 2 Red Whiptail Cats (The Algae eating gang), as well today added 9 Brown Tail Pencil fish, not to mention the Betta that had to get relocated.
