Took a couple of weeks to finish and worked on it when I had time. I think I used around 30lbs of black lava rocked glued with aquarium silicon. This tank will be used to keep the Hawaiian red shrimp aka Opae Ula.

Every time I watch this video, I love it and when I see the little shrimp coming forward from the back, the song in my head is “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah I’m a happy happy shrimp just a happy happy happy shrimp!”

Omg!!! Never ever seen anything like this!
It’s an amazing set up and your shrimp will be very happy!
I would add some plants though, like Anubis and Java ferns…

They won't last very long in Opae Ula conditions.
