Making them easy to maintain was a key point. Less time in maintaining, Means more time to ENJOY. I have broken countless pieces of glass in the past using only 1 or 2 piece tops.

When feeding,
Only feed enough that can be eaten in 20 minutes.
If you only have 4 Shrimp in your tank and if they are finding enough to eat off of the Plants and Substrate, I would not worry to much about feeding.
How old is the Tank ?

Randy,
Welcome aboard.

Haven't found info about how to season a tank in preparation for shrimp.

The term " Seasoned " refers to a Older / Aged TanK.

Thanks for the progress notes. As for larvae Collection. The Saltwater Hobbyist use a larvae collecting device that works pretty well. It comes with a small L.E.D. light to attract them to the entrance to the trap. It is kept in place on the side of your tank will magnets. I will look around and see...
