I’ve not bothered with the aquascaping just yet. The Ikea lamp is just temporary too. No substrate yet either (still not 100% sure I want to put sand in) but the Mantis is now living in the tank and he’s busy smashing and eating snails. I’ve got a huge hang on back Aquaclear 110 filter loaded with carbon and denitrate too. It’s almost as wide as the tank!
Over filtration = a good thing. I’ve literally got no more room to play with back there too, tight fit, just perfect!
In other good news my main display tank is almost 100% clear. Phew! Now to call Uncle Tekky and see where he’s at with the stand & hood!
