Nice Martin. Is the 90L a square tank? How long have you had the plants at the back? I think they are houseplants mate.

Update

Here are my latest tank photo's, think i'm finally happy with the look.
Still having issues with hair algae, have added a Koralia Nano circulation pump in the back left corner to try to improve flow around the tank.

Looks good Steve, plants seem to be doing well:yes:
Thanks :)

Am dosing with Seachem liquid carbon daily and liquid ferts every other day.

Vallis is doing particularly well, am having to trim every week and remove off-shoots every week or else it would take over the whole tank.

Your tanks are really cool:yes:

I think you can buy shrimp shelters online, they are a good idea for giving shrimp a safe retreat.
