Looks good. A background to hide those wires would go along way
FYI I think you want this in the photo section. This is the marine thread

Looking pretty good.
I also suggest some kind of back ground too to hide all the wires.
Also you could get a oneway valve for your bubbler and then you can hide that in the cupboard below.
thanks! yes ill definitely get a background and since this pic i have changed it a little.
ill add photos too the photo section when ive completed the tank with back ground
how does the oneway valve work?

Just my take on one way valves:
Commonly known as check-valves, they basically ensure that your tank water won't get siphoned out through the airlines in a power outage/pump breaks.

Yes, exactly what Jack Mack said, the check valve, one-way valve only allows the flow of liquid in one direction (not that music group), so that if you turn the pump off during WC, suffer a blackout or apocolypse water does not syphon out through the air hose. Also you don't normally want water inside your air pump as you might 'short' the motor.

maybe just me but whenever i've used a one way valve i've noticed the airflow reduces considerably so i've taken my chance and stopped using them. I've a aqua one and sera air pump, same result on both.

I agree completely Angelo, but I just much prefer to install them than to have my pump sitting on top of my tanks rattling away.
Cheers

Good quality valves have very little impact on air flow.
