your aquarium is looking great and peaceful! The tank should color up naturally as time progresses and the tannins leech into the water more.
I enjoy small low maintenance tanks. I once kept over a dozen tanks and bread fish, coral, and various algae,
but now I keep a 14 gallon saltwater tank with a clown fish, live rock and 2”-3” of live sand. Natural micro fauna help keep Nemo fed along with occasional dry food. I almost never do water changes anymore, just top it off for evaporation and add some buffers.
The mini benthic creatures that appear in saltwater systems are fascinating to me. .
I agree let nature have its course with the darkning of the water it will come as time goes by (same as in nature ) you can also add whats known as special moonnligt or black light (often found in the reptile department in youre zoo store) to further darken the desired dark water effect. And of course in general dimm the light
NICE i never got to breading im afraid i was happy just geting it to work and enjoy them
Its possible to manage and suceed with Micro tanks (incl salt) BUT i do belive we should add its takes a bit more experince before just get on that one and its togher to maintain the balance in said system with smaller tanks (and most defenetly in sallt )
