Nice haul you got there
I have used the EBI Gold substrate for when I attempted CRS. Quite a ncie substrate I am ripping it out and replacing it with Dennerle Sulawesi black gravel I have coming from Amazon.de (9 Euro Postage)
I also ordered some of the filters pads for you corner filter 12 Euro for three. It seems quite expensive but I am doing a rebuild and want to keep things as simple as possible
All the best with your tank Roly - Hope you enjoy the hols!

Trying to find photos of peoples Nano shrimp tanks for inspiration most of them are close ups of the shrimp themselves. But I wanted to see some which are not overly planted so that shrimp and on show rather than hide constantly.
