I know its way too long but unfortunately i am on 24 call out all next week not the best starting up a new tank!! plus got a long weekend the week after so perfect for me setting it up, still deciding on planting anyway gives me a bit of time as hardscape is set . :bookworm:
 
New co2 diffuser arived today from one of our sponsers and have to say i am very impressed with build quality and look if diffusion rate matches i will be very happy also it has easily changable ceramic discs which will help as it comes to maintenance.

finally ordered plants yesterday which arrives next friday from one of our sponsors who was very helpful as always (thanks dave) :thumbup:. think i may of gone a bit OTT but that part is going to be part of the learning process ! one thing is i do have a plan so everything has its place hopefully it will be harmonious and not chaotic , full plant list is at the beginning of this journal
 
you may want to flood & check wood isn't going anywhere - just cover soil with paper towel or plastic bag to prevent disturbance during fill - easy to drain when plants arrive
(paper will catch any fine debris/dust)

Great scape ... going to go read plants now :D

make sure you have enough fast growing stems to help with tank start up
eg, use lots of Limnophila sessiliflora
Some Tropica suggestions, Auxiliary Plants

Thanks alto ! Im flooding the tank today like you said want to make sure it all stays in place the tree is anchored all the way to the bottom but some of the roots may lift also want to make sure the soil inclines stay in place, i have made some substrate supports to fix temporary in place if needed being a electician surface trunking comes in handy . I have to test the filter also so ideal opportunity .

I've been reading about Kessils and I still don't know if they are noisy or not ; could you please clarify this one for me ?

hiya eduard the kessil does have a fan running on the unit but you can barely hear it in my opinion ! especially once other equipment is running you would not notice it at all.
i think its a great light the glitter lines really set a tank off also and can really make certain set ups gives it a more natural feel
