Wow, you are all so nice! Thanks for the nice compliments. 
chr15_8~The camera is a cannon G-5. There are better cannons out now. The Rebel is very popular amongst hobbyists, and takes wonderful macro shots that blow my photos away.
The tanks- I am torn. Having never kept any shrimp like this before, I have been researching planted tanks, small tanks, and what fish I could possibly keep. That’s how I found out what a CPD was, someone told me they were good candidates for keeping with the shrimp. Still others think I shouldn’t keep any fish with the shrimp, as they act more at ease without predators swimming overhead. So I have another cube just like this one. I was thinking of doing something similar, but with different type of stone{sieryu} and maybe different higher light plants. I have ordered two 9 wt 6500 K bulbs, to see if they fire up in this little reptile light I have.
L777~Babe, sweetie, dear, lady,miss,maam,honey….anything but “dude” 
The gobies eat mysis shrimp & other foods that I feed. I don’t keep sandsifting gobies, as they will eat all the beneficial infauna from your sandbed…and then generally starve. The pipefish{I have another type as well} are very difficult to care for. I have a refugium, and I add live copepods to it & the main tank every few months & feed them, to insure they are available for my pipefish, and my dragonette{a scooter}
celestial dude~ludwigia repens is the tall background stem plant, the green stringy one in the middle is dwarf sagittaria, the one in the front is referred to as HC~Hemianthus callitrichoides .I don’t think I have enough light for it, if it makes it until I get the 2nd tank set up I will put it there. Yes, the moss ball is a marimo ball, a curious thing. It doesn’t need much light, just to be turned. I turn it every day. There is also Taiwan & Christmas moss in the tank. I am waiting for dosing stuff to arrive, then I will begin dosing small amounts of Seachem products.
Thanks again everyone. :wink:
