I connected the acrylic legs with the porcelain pieces two days before installation.
This was how the tank looked like before my rearrangement. The tank had a serious problem of hairy algae. It almost covered every plants in the tank, and it was really hard to get rid of. The plants at the left hand side were squeezed together that many of them were rotted, especially the parts closed to bottom and in the middle. My guess was that because they didn't have enough space to breathe. So during the installation, I trimmed the plants, leaving the healthy part of them, and replanted. When I trimmed them, I found because of the rot, the plants were smelly. Maybe that was the reason that the shrimps didn't like walking around, but stayed at the corner. The rot polluted the water. Hoping after the plants grow up again, they will be healthier.
This is how the tank looks afterwards. The floating parts work perfectly, hoping the moss will spread fast and the shrimp will like it. The light adjusts the colour of the ceramic part, which I think the colour is just alright.

After I finished, some of the shrimps climbed out, which was a good sign. I will keep recording the progress of the tank, and talk about the ideas and evaluation more in the next post.
