Wanted to post an update for you all!
Freshly cleaned. I have about 18 shrimp still kicking and 1-2 snails from the 24 shrimp and 12 snails I started with. I've had to prune the cheato twice as it took over the entire top of the tank.

Looks great!! I think my snails have bred but not the shrimp. I may be down to 2-4 shrimp from my original 12, can’t be sure as I have never seen more than 1-2 at a time!

5+ years later, how many of you still have this tank up and running?

Mine has been in at my works since I set it up, although moved from a cubicle to an office a few years back. Still all original sand, rocks, and inhabitants. A small amount of snails still alive and god knows what generation of shrimp. Also still have one of the original moss balls alive.

Besides topping off with distilled water, and the light on a timer, there has been 0 maintenance and maybe 5 feedings.

I think we need more of these type of "contest" I tried to set one up years ago, even had a sponsor willing to give some gear...reached out to Rev. & the mods but never heard back....
anyway cool that your is still up and running!

I don't have the lamp tank set up any more. But I did go see opae ula in their natural habitat in Hawaii a few years ago!
