Would definitely reccommend the ecco mate. Very quiet, and I'm running the one I got from Antipofish on the tank you sent me at the moment, and the flow is perfect.

Re: ADA Mini M-ish Journal (HARDSCAPE, LIGHTS!)
I really like your wood, and the way you've arranged it. I think it's going to look fantastic planted up with mosses, and it'll make a nice environment for a few small fish - lots of places for them to explore and/or hide out. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Re: ADA Mini M-ish Journal (HARDSCAPE, LIGHTS!)
Thanks Sarah on the wood comments Today i finally got about putting the lights up and to be honest they look stunning imo. They really give bright light. I had to remove the wood and tank from the stand when drilling so as not to get dust in it, this meant i had to put the hardscape back together again, painnnful! What makes me more annoyed is that ill have to do it all over again when the amazonia arrives! Anyway, here are some pics of the tweaked hardscape and brilliant lights!

Got a question, how do i make this manzy wood sink? How long will this take?
Any questions, or advice would be much appreciated

Really starting to click into place now Harry. Can you give me a link for the bulbs you chose and tell us why you chose them for future reference ? I am looking at replacing the light I got with my nano too.

Re: ADA Mini M-ish Journal (HARDSCAPE, LIGHTS!)
They are two little 3w 3x1w LED CREE Cool white lamps that i got off ebay here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-x-GU10-3W-L ... 2329wt_905 VERY CHEAP!
I chose to use these bulbs because number 1 ; they are so cheap and only came to £15.99 including the fitting i got from ikea. Number 2 ; They are low energy. Number 3 ; They are different from the bulky clip on lights and luminaires that look bad (imo) on a rimless tank. Number 4 ; I have never tried LED lighting before, so this will be a good test Make sure you stay up to date when i start growing some plants to see what they can handle!

Looking good
How high have you put the lights above the tank?
They will give a good shimmer effect with a bit of surface ripple.

Re: ADA Mini M-ish Journal (HARDSCAPE, LIGHTS!)
They are 10" above this means they get the angles just overlapping each other, so an even spread of light Im looking forward to the shimmer matey

Re: ADA Mini M-ish Journal (HARDSCAPE, LIGHTS + AQUASOIL!))
Okay so i came home today to yet another package, this was housing the lovely AQUASOIL! I got to work by first taking out the wood and then filling with soil. I didn't think i would have enough but it turns out i still have around 1/5 of it left! Rearranging the wood was a painful process but the shaping of the soil was rather simple, High at the back, low at the front and and a little higher in the back on the left than the right The post before this is the filter i will be buying next week, ill give it a little clean and get the puppy setup ready for planting. Im not thinking of plants too much yet but i would really love some suggestions from you guys Any advice or comments on the hardscape would be much appreciated. Here are the pics:
Here's the amazonia awaiting its arrival into the tank.

The wood is placed securely and will hopefully not float up due to the amazonia weighing it down
