Hi mate,
Here is the carpet 10 days after.
Sorry for the poor pictures quality I don't have a camera.
I have had problems at the start with flow/distribution. I have played a bit with it and after a time this problem was resolved.

Hi Alastair
Thanks for answering. So it ok ? Unfortunately I don't know if I can find trumpet snail here lol. But it ok if every two month I steer a part of the substrate. I plan also tu put some "natural balls" of laterite on the under layer. It will help for water flow down there.
So do you...
