That shrimp looks very under nourished! You may want to try some rich foods soaked in selcon asap!
Other than the apparent ill health of your shrimp the build looks great! I am excited to see another creation from the Rabidgoose!! Keep us posted Chuck.

Tiger shrimp...(often seen hanging around a stemmed glass very close to cocktail sauce...)
Thanks Andy, I will try some selcon.....I really like this shrimp. He doesn't move around very much and is easy to photograph.

He looks very docile. I bet he won't mess with his tank mates at all even once you fatten him up.

Alas, the shrimp didn't make it () turns out a head is sorta important to shrimp.
With a test though....Ammonia @ 3mg/L
I also put an MP10 in the tank for circulation....First impression is I like it, very unobtrusive.
For now and a while to come, I'm just waiting patiently....

Signs of life...well kinda.....yeah when I start taking pictures of algae for know real reason it means i'm getting a little antsy....nitrites at .5 ppm a couple days ago. Will fire up the skimmer probably tomorrow and check on nitrates.......still a ways to go

Ammonia=0
nitrites=0
I ended up seeding the tank with a little bit of rock from my DT, still some time to go but I am starting to put together a tentative fish list.....
1) Pink Streaked Wrasse
2) ????
3) Royal Gramma Basslet
4) Filamented Flasher Wrasse
5) Longnose Hawkfish
#5 can be a little iffy but I will add him last and pamper him to hopefully stem any aggression
