Good tank....wow 2 months setup...i cant wait...lol
Perhaps check the water to make it suitable for shrimp.
Got diy co2?

can someone confirm whether I set the filter correctly ?

First time and my friend just passed me the tank 

or the other tube need to point into the water?

quite ok, lot of space to view the shrimp, for future if you will to add in any new plant, test it a one shrimp in a bucket first before put
into your tank as some plant esp the HC seem to leech with pesticide and ferts that fatal to shrimps, you risk wipe out all the shrimp.
In the future you need to cover those filter intake with steel mesh or sponge to prevent shrimplets to be sucked in and killed.

Those fish if too big will target the shrimplets but will just reduce the breeding rate if you have enough space for some baby shrimp to hide.
else remove is also a good option, however you can keep them with smaller sized fish like dwarf or spotted rasbora.
The rule is if the fish mouth big enough to fit a shrimplet, they will eat them.
Of course aggressive in nature fish is a NO NO in shrimp tank.

Your temperature may on the high side as running two filter will contribute to higher temperature, and you may as well run a bigger filter.
adding a aquarium fan is always an option.

By HC do you mean Hemianthus Callitrichoides?

hi
i think u need to add more water until water level same as water outlet
this is to avoid waterfall effect and to avoid disturbance to the soil if u have

stainless steel mesh won't rust, but the edge are quite sharp to my liking.

Why?

It's way down there next to gravel where the shrimps can't really get to.

I send one commando cherry into my 1st cycled tank day yesterday! Checked today and cherry is still good...tested ph kh n gh...a bit low than the original home tank.
Should i wait longer than transfer the yellow golden back. I thought of moving some mosses too...but afraid the snail and planaria migrate too.
Still traping planaria daily and still found them in the trap..

Omg...u are making teh tarik...lol

These fellas damn funny... they keep moving food out of the feeding dish. 

LOL ~~ Guess they want to bring it back

I wonder how long does it take for my tank water to be clear 

They're damn messy eater.

Still haven't found a solution to keep the tank clean without too much housekeeping.

Btw, if nothing disturbs the substrate and with the filter running, won't be long maybe a day or two.

got a front photo shoot of your tank , picture too dark , can't really see how it look like.

don't transfer the moss or even the water, planaria and eggs may hitchhiking on it.
you should receive the no-planaria on wed, nuke THEM(planaria) ,trap is useless.
How many Liters of water of your planaria tank ?
