Not stocked yet as still going through a cycle, but now planted and ready to stock in a week or so i hope. The plants on the back top ledge are my nursery plants, i am growning them on and taking cuttings when they reach the top, going well a si have got 6 cutting in the week or so they have been in. I will keep an eye on the Vallis so it doesnt get out of control. Still need to add some stones/pebbles under the back ledge for the fish to play and hide in.

I made a video as better than pics, but i am no film maker but it shows the main detail.
