That looks lovely :) Any more front photos?
Hi Steve, thanks and yes i have 2 more photos one month old that i share now:

Front view:

and from above:

As i said before they are one month old, actually the sand is less visible courtesy of my beloved shrimp and snails :banghead: , tenellus and tripartida are fighting for more room and vesuvius and marsilea are not growing, probably they will not survive :sick:
 
Looking really good Brancaman :)
I'd say 9 shrimplets was a pretty good start, and you have more berried ahrimp so numbers should increase quickly :thumbup:
Really good photos and nice snails too.
Keep up the good work.
Cheerio,
Ady.
 
Great photo's Brancaman! Loving the shot of the shrimplets on the fissedens :)
 
Hi everyone, forgot to updated this :oops:

So let's see what i got: 24 hours later the courgette/zucchini was like this:dead: :

Now i strugle with high temperatures as here in Portugal we suffer from 35ºC/95F and above last week and still more to come, so water remains between 25/26ºC all day long:inpain:
