Looking forward to seeing this one come to life She's all plumbed in and ready for pre scape .
Hoping to order plants next Monday but I will start with another full tank spec + plant list with an empty tank shot followed by a few different scape shots .

Hi and thanks .
I bought the bulbs from a generic uk eBay seller . I replaced my whole house with them . They worked out at £3.80 a bulb , I also bought the trailing edge dimmer switch on eBay for £10 (another uk seller).
The bulbs are 3x 4watts each at 6000k (I think). They have 60 degree lenses and can be dimmed from 48 watts to 10 watts.
Cheers

Yup defiantly worth putting the dimmer in .
The plants im thinking of using are :
Fissidens fontanius
Monte Carlo
Mini hairgrass
Amania sp bonsai
Staurogyne repens
alternanthera reineckii mini
Maybe some hydro sp japan (maybe)
Cheers
These are just a consideration, there's just so much choice it's really difficult to make a decision.

Well I decided to have a little scape , this is my first attempt .
I've placed the rocks in as they are and they haven't moved yet .
What's people's first thought ?
I'm planning to use a white medium grain river sand around the edge . I won't add that untill I'm certain I want to stay with the chosen layout . Also I will probably gain some more depth in the substrate once the sand is in to support what's there.

Nice rocks Sam, my only input is you could do with maybe 1 larger rock.
Plants ordered
Amania sp bonsai
micranthemum monte carlo
Staurogyne repens
Eleocharis sp mini ,( I already have this in another tank)
I may also make the island slightly bigger and take some sand out .
