Thank you, Im quite fond of it. As mentioned on the mother site, opae ula make the perfect nano tank critters. (and this is about as nano as it gets!) My only disappointment is my macro algae seems to deteriorate more and more each month, very very slowly. Im thinking either too little or too much or the wrong kind of light, shrug.

It took about ~8 months before anything bred. Now every 2 months or so I get a small batch of 5-8 larva.

Eagerly awaiting my first berried shrimp but I guess patience is key!

Thanks for the update! Glad to see another tank doing well using the "Petshrimp method". :) Did you macroalgae ever grow in the last 2 years? I.e. did you need to weed it out a few times?
